I had this post already to go when, for some reason, the whole thing disappeared! Bummer!!!
It is a beautiful sunny day here and I got some time to sit out on the back deck. The temperature is above 20C and the clothes is
quickly drying on the line.
I have been trying to play catch-up on these hand embroidered one inch circles from @instastitchwithsue on Instagram. These are a bit time consuming, depending on the design and I'm still about ten circles behind. I try not to take out stitches. In the first one, my spacing is a bit off but it's a practise piece and I only eye balled the distances.
Lots of practise doing these bullion knots! I used two different variegated #8 pearl from Valdani Threads.
More variegated threads. Love the colours on this one.
The colours for this one worked out well. More bullion knots and a bullion rose.
My basket is a bit tilted!
The lime green is a bit garish and it was difficult matching colours for this circle. Again, the middle is not centered. BUT these are practise pieces and it was late when it got done. That's my excuse.
Enjoy!!
They all look great. This is going to be such a fun sampler when it's done. (and I don't think your basket is the least bit tilted!)
