New start


This is a little sneaky peeky on my newest design, tentatively called Mary Tavish. I am using beautiful AVAS silks(my favorite!), on 32 ct. antique white Belfast linen. What do you think so far?

A Biscornu!


I will be designing a biscornu for the members of my local needlework guild, and teaching the finishing technique next spring. So I worked on this biscornu so I could get the whole project straight in my mind. I bought this as a kit from Handcrafts Online. It is stitched with Dinky Dyes silk, the color is called tea tree.
