It's coming together now


Tissue box cover.


Measure twice, cut once then back stitch to create a strong edge.


It's the first time I've tried bargello and it took a few attempts to get it to work.


Each piece was decorated and the main panel had a band of satin stitch then the opening was cut.



Interfacing was ironed on to help protect the back of the stitching.


And the whole thing was whip stitched.

Another magical finish.


This version is in a dusky purple and took just ten days to stitch. 


Another gift.
