"Hi Jen,
This stitch looks so interesting! May I ask what it is called and where I might find instructions for it?
Thanks,

- Hi Jenn. Love your hardanger. Please tell me what stitch you used in picture #5. It looks familiar, but I can't place it. I am really intrigued by it. It looks great in the colors you used.

It may be a violation, but I'm desperate. What book did you find it in? Maybe just the diagram itself wouldn't be too much of a sin. Or if the book is still in print and not too expensive, I might buy it.

Do you have a diagram for the Edelweiss filling for Hardanger that you could share with me. I'd like to learn that one, but don't see it in any of my booklets.

Jeanne Theunissen said… - Hi Jen,
I just noticed you live in Canton, MI. I grew up in Livonia, and my brother still lives there. I've been looking through your photos; my, you certainly are a multi-talented lady! Hardanger is about all I do... I love to work in colour, too; I use Caron Watercolours a lot, though I rarely use it for the whole piece; just some of the satin stitching as an accent. I see you love to travel; let me know if you ever decide to come to Australia!
