A Little Bit of Stitchery

Bird Stitchery Design by Gail Pan

A little bit of embroidery for a change. I got the design from Gail Pan's website (I don't think it's available now). I had this frame which was just right fit! It took me about a week to stitch. I've used variegated DMC threads. It's now hanging on my living room wall.

About time I did a bit more stitching ... Still a long way to go!

The stitchery designs have now been traced. I used my new lightbox, and it works very well, except that I kept hitting the on/off switch and switching it off.

Don't know how it happened, but I managed to trace one of the designs onto the back of the paper with the design on, instead of onto the fabric ... Had to do it again. Then when I went to iron the interfacing onto the backs of the fabrics it went all wrinkly ... so I had to trace it yet again!
