Double homework this time!
Aida Sampler
It was impossible to use the holes to make even points. I didn't want to cheat and stitch between the holes. Nevertheless, the stars are rather neat, I think.

On a tight weave like this, the stars form easily.
The Roumanian Couching is tight and compact, but I had trouble keeping the edges even.
Mottled Wool Scribble Cloth
As I mentioned before, marking the hexagon shape for the stars' foundation is nearly impossible on this mottled wool. I cut out small paper hexagons and pinned them down first, then it was a bit easier to stitch the hexagon. The actual Six-Pointed stars were easy to do.
Roumanian Couching was also easy to do on the wool, but the edges are uneven...
Love those stars, they will be perfect for Christmas stitching!
ReplyDeleteThe stars do look really neat, I do like them.
ReplyDeleteThe stars are great! Nice to see the different sizes.
ReplyDeleteThe fluffy yarn makes a big difference.
ReplyDeleteI tend to use Roumanian Couching to cover uneven-edged shapes anyway, so difficulties with straightness are camouflaged!
