Beautiful!
I have never seen any - and I like the trays that are in the top of these baskets. They are very handy
I am planning to make a sewing basket like the one on the picture.
Does anyone know if there is a description on "how to do it" on the internet?
You could choose the project that takes the least time to finish.
Try to stitch each day just a little bit. One piece of thread or one leaf or part of leaf or a line. In any way a measured amount of stitching. Then you feel satisfied you have reac...
You are right, it was in Inspirations.
I enjoyed stitching it. Beside the blackwork, which was new to me, there is gold and copper to couch.
What an interesting discussion. I use a hoop or frame for almost everything. I find it keeps the fabric in shape and the work centred. As I taught myself I just do what suits me and the hoop seems to be the way to go.
This is beautiful! I think I have seen it or something similar before. Was it from Inspirations magazine?
Tanja this is just beautiful! I feel like I have seen the design before - was it is Inspirations magazine
Thank you all for your nice comments.
They are very encouraging.
Very well done!
This group discusses the embroidery of the 16th and 17thC. There is a seperate group for stumpwork.
I use a hoop when the cloth needs the tension for stitch control. There are just some stitches that will not work or look good with out the hoop. If I am doing ordinary cross stitch then I don't usually use a hoop. The cross st. does not pull the ...
Beautiful!
Ooooh. Pretty!
It's a beauty!
Lovely blackwork butterfly. Very pretty.

Yes, I would back the silk - probably with calico. It would probably still shift a bit in the Qsnap frame but It's useful for starting and finishing the threads plus hiding any little ends and especially stumpwork wires.
I would never use a hoop for stem stitch, cross stitch, shisha etc. unless I found a hoop essential for other stitches in the design ie. knots, needleweaving, other raised stitches and didn't want to keep removing it. I enjoy the in out rhythm of ...

Elizabeth said… - Hi! Do you have more private way to communicate re book swap?=) I'd appreciate your being a bit more specific about how much you want to swap the book for (you wouldn't expect full price, even in these circumstances) and also what types of things you're interested in. My giving you a list of what I have to swap would be very time consuming, I fear!=(
Liefs, E=)

- Hi Marjolein, welcome to Stitchin Fingers. What types of embroidery do you do?
There are lots of groups here that you may be interested in. You don't have to join any, but it's more fun if you do.
