WIPW - More Coasters

On the menu for Work In Progress Wednesday report of the week are the usual projects, as well as some gifts.

Sunday Stitch School Stitch Sampler

Here I have completed the swirls of #16 Punchetto Valsesiano that I did not have time to finish last week. There is also a circle of #203 Pariser Stitch, and inside you will find #5 Emire Stitch.

Velveteen Cushion

I used metallic copper thread to Stem stitch some ornaments.

Ukranian Bookmark

The bookmark in Ukranian Cross Stitch I had begun last week, was completed and is now waiting for someone's birthday.

The back is covered with felt that I glued on. I left enough raw edge to made a simple fringe of the Aida fabric. To make sure it does not fray any further I brushed on a thin line of diluted bond to harden the 'roots' of the fringe.

It's a very beautiful design, but took 21 hours to complete. Almost every minute my thoughts were of the country where this design is from.

Coasters

For another birthday I made five coasters from squares of William Morris' lawn and Liberty's famous paisley lawn (used for the back, so not seen here).

All machine stitched, to save time.
