Not a lot to show this month due to starting and stopping on several projects but I have finished another UFO which I can show today for the Smalls Sal check-in. A free biscornu design by casaerba.
I started the embroidery a couple of years ago showing it on a blog post but it then got relegated to the dreaded drawer without even a start on the second side.
I used 28ct. fabric from stash and white and pink Anchor perlé thread #12 and #8. The pattern includes, satin stitch, blanket, overcast, stem stitch, bullion, alternating stem and square stitch.
At last I completed the second pattern all in white thread.
When sewing up the biscornu, I added some sparkly fabric underneath the cutwork but it doesn´t show up on the photos, an iridescent button, which doesn´t show up either and hey presto, finished. Thank you Erba for such a pretty design.
To join the Smalls SAL, at anytime during the year, click on my sidebar button which will take you to Heather at Stitching Lotus. Until next week.

It's hard to make shimmers and glitters show up on photos, but even without them, this looks delightful! And yet another item out of the Dreaded Drawer - well done!
ReplyDeleteYour work is amazing , and so pretty .
ReplyDeleteI love your stitchwork, but it's fun, too, to see how you assemble your pieces. They look so different before and after assembly!
ReplyDeleteWondeful finish.

ReplyDeleteThis biscornu is really lovely! The embroidery is very dainty and the shape is funny! It sometimes requires time to take a project through to the end, the result was worth waiting! I wish you a nice weekend! Hugs! Sandrine

ReplyDeleteThat's gorgeous - and impressive! What's that stitch in the pink central cut work called? It almost looks like crochet!
