Finished the first of two pillows. The pattern is modified from the book I mentioned in an earlier post. The circle in the center is made using a french knot, the stems are stem stitch, and the petals are done in a split stitch - just in case you're wondering. I love the juxtaposition of contemporary design with an heirloom art form.
Speaking of heirloom, I bought a craft magazine from 1992 at a recent neighborhood yard sale. I thought it would be fun to see what was crafting twenty years ago, and maybe try out some retro ideas. Well, here's the first page I flipped to, and honestly, I think I'll just let that idea go!
Have a great day,
Cindy
