It is time to start the engine again after a long rest at the end of last year. Here is the first Work In Progress Wednesday report for 2024.
Mandala
I have begun to add Colonial Knots in a fine metallic thread. I do this instead of adding beads - I want the glint and sparkle but I don't want the tricky beadwork just yet. Beads will eventually be added to the Mandala but at a later stage.
Sunday Stitch School Stitch Sampler
First I attached a piece of waste canvas and with the help of that grid I added the following stitches, from top left:
#159 Invented Stitch (Slashed) (pink), #214 Threaded Blanket Stitch (green and yellow), #121 Point á la Minute Stitch (green), #226 Badass Star Stitch (yellow) and #107 Tvistsöm (diagonal) (purple).
There is space for more stitches on the canvas, so check them out next Wednesday.
Some sparkle is good! The colorful canvas stitches are pretty too.
ReplyDeleteThe Colonial Knots make a lovely little glimmer, don't they..
ReplyDeleteNice to see you have started the engine again. Hope you have a productive 2024.
ReplyDeleteGood idea to leave the beads to the end. They do tend to snag while stitching. The process should be as problem free as possible!
ReplyDeleteMandala has also started.
ReplyDeleteWill be comleted this year?
I'm paying attention.😉
