Okay, to be honest, I stitched this Sunday night / Monday morning, but just didn’t take the time to blog about it until now. I’m doing an informal SAL this month of the Hearts and Flowers Hardanger Collection by Twisted Oaks Designs.
I decided to use something other than white linen for the fabric, as I plan on using this set once I am finished and I’m a terrible clutz with sweaty hands, so white needlework tools just don’t work… Anyway, I also changed a couple of the thread colors, as well, so I wanted to do a little test doodle to make sure everything would work. So, I took several of the motifs and put them together on a leftover strip of fabric to make a bookmark:
It seems to have worked out okay, so I’ll start the actual project at some point in the near future. I still need to get through some obligation stitching first, though!
Congratulations, Jenna, it’s so lovely!
hugs!
Jenna, your bookmark is adorable! You are so creative. I enjoyed reading your A to Z meme as well ;o)
Congratulations Jenna, it’s lovely
You came up with a lovely little bookmark!
Simple and stylish. 🙂
What a nice way to test colors and design!! Clever girl 🙂
That turned out great! Very delicate looking. The colors are perfect. 😀
It’s really pretty Jenna! Can’t wait to see the main project 🙂
That’s really cute, Jenna! I love the colour combinations. Way to go!
Jenna: I just compared your photo of the bookmark to the photo on Twisted Oaks website. Wow. I really like the non-white ground. It looks wonderful. Not sure what fibers you used – they look like darker shades — but you substituted well.
I’ve been working on the EGA mystery sampler SAL (which I forgot to finish in December) I have about 1/2 hour stitching for lesson 5 & will post a photo.
Take Tori back to school on Saturday (boo hoo). DH works & so my Mom is coming here to keep Nick company. It will be a long day of driving.
