Or to be more precise, both doing the edging on our cross stitch pieces. I have borrowed Kirsten's photos because they have come out so much better than mine.
Each section will be edged in back stitch, using two strands of dark green thread. Then we will work out the border pattern.
[If you want to find out the details of the 24 individual sections, click in the "cross stitch collaboration" in the labels list on the right]
I'm trying not to be "on edge" this morning - we both have very early dental appointments. But Roshan my dentist is definitely the best I've ever had - he is so reassuring, and puts me at my ease as soon as I sit down. [by the way, the phrase "set one's teeth on edge" comes from the Bible, Jeremiah ch 31]
I'm not hurrying - this is a perfect opportunity to practise 'slow stitching ' Good luck at the dentist

DeleteThey look amazing. What next? Framing and displaying?
ReplyDeleteLove slow stitching. Recently bought a kit that caught my eye. Pic on my blog.Your dentist sounds a good'un.
ReplyDeleteI love the header picture - is that the kit?
DeleteYes, that's one of the designs. You get two in the kit.

DeleteSuch beautiful work! It must make you proud to see it like that in the lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tooth Day! JanF
I think we are both pleased with all we have learned, and created
DeleteYup!
DeleteHope your appointment went well at the dentist and wasn’t too ouch on the purse ! Looking forward to seeing what you design for the border. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThis appt not too bad, future treatment will be very £££ [filling the gap left by January's extraction]
DeleteGood luck for both experiences!!! I love your work! I think I'd choose the bottom one if I had to choose a favourite! Which one are you getting? Kxx
ReplyDeleteBottom one going to Kirsten - toip one will be mine. I'm glad we stitched A and K right at the beginning, because it would be hard to choose between them I think. They usually cross in the post - it is interesting to compare the two side by side like this,
DeleteHow lovely to see the (almost) finished postcards! I hope both dental appointments go well.
ReplyDeleteIt went well in that everything is good - but I will have to go back to have something sorted out about the gap following the extraction after Christmas.
DeleteEnjoy sewing the finishing touches to your cross-stitch and admiring it's beauty as you sew!Dental appts? Shudder!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
