Just showing off!

I just don't know what's up with all this lately. Everything seems really slow to load... maybe it's just my poor old computer again. Anyway, I thought I'd have another attempt at uploading my exchange item photos. So here we go. These are going to be winging their way to Chattanooga, TN in the not too distant future. I just know their recipient is going to love them and that pleases me because I put a lot of effort into them. Having started this set three times over I'm finally happy with the colour/thread/fabric combination I chose. I used matching thread and metallic thread for theseJust as well really, as I don't think it would have been feasible to start yet again.

Now, this set is going to Ontario, Canada. I had a lot of fun with these and am pleased with the results. I used two shades of matt cotton and one shiny rayon thread in a toning colour. The longest part of stitching these was actually the making up. The little needlebook to absolutely ages, but again, I'm pleased with the end result.

I've made some good progress on the mini biscornu today although I haven't had much time to stitch. I'm looking forward to seeing this design come to life, if it looks good then I'll be encouraged to try some more of my own designs!
