I used DMC, Charles craft, Monaco evenweave, 28 count, with 1 strand of DMC thread (silks). Lovely tiny neat stitches. The design is Quaker Tiles on white, by Vivienne Powers, purchased off Etsy, I had all the colours except one which I matched to the closest I had.
It's been a pure joy to stitch.
50 squares all different patterns.
I aim to frame this now, it's a gift, for someone who knows how much work went into making it, later in the week we will pop to Hobbycraft and I can purchase a thin black frame, keeping everything simple. A pure joy to stitch, I do love a neat balanced design, I've never stitched Cottages, flowers, animals or any other traditional designs.
Beautiful work Marlene, it always amazes me how you can do such tiny neat stitching. I wouldn't have the patience (even if I could sew!).
ReplyDeleteThat looks fabulous.

Wolves are over rated. I haven't finished a wolf picture I started 25 years ago.
