Hardanger finish

Hi Everyone,

Not much embroidery done this week, but I did get some photos taken of my Hardanger table mat which I in fact finished a few weeks ago.


Started just before Christmas, the HAL Ateneo by Mamen at Carpacar.  I blogged about my start here.



After completing satin stitch kloster blocks, a tiny square stitch done in diagonal and a buttonhole edging, I cut the threads in the middle of the design.


This area was worked with wrapped bars and decorative Greek cross stitches and dove´s eyes.


Lots more dove´s eyes worked on the outer edging too


and then I cut around the buttonhole stitch edging which really seemed to take forever.


I decided to make a little matching scissor fob



for the tassel I followed Judy´s tutorial, something a bit different, thank you Judy, I like the tiny added detail.


Thank you for stopping by, until next week.

Sheryl

  2. Beautiful. Love the colors you used. I've downloaded the pattern for future use. I have a hard time finding nice selection of colors of #8 perle cotton. The few places I know of are not close.

  4. Wow! These projects are impressive; so delicate and with beautiful colour combinations too. Snipping the threads must have been quite nerve-wracking! :)

  11. Hi Sherryl, Your little doily looks great, I like the colors, although I have only ever embroidered Hardanger in one color, I like this variant very well. And the little scissors finder - very pretty.
    Have a nice week, Martina

  20. Oh wow, I bet cutting that edge out really did take forever! Or at least a really long time, but not long enough that you couldn't make another one to cut out (the fob)! :))) I like hardanger in other colors. Maybe some day I should try a piece! That's a really neat tassel too; thank you for the link.
