I have no progress to show, and no useless trivia of note and so I thought I'd share some hand embroidery that I did early last year.
The point was to explore various stitches and used an excercise from Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohns book Stitch Magic where you randomly select a stitch and a format and an arrangement to help you to explore hand stitching.
These are all 3" x 3"
Herringbone stitch - irregular - square (although not very square)
Buttonhole stitch - irregular - square
Detatched chain - regular - haphazard
Eyelet stitch - regular - square
Cretan stitch - irregular - vertical
I really enjoyed these little explorations and will have to try do some more sometime soon.
BTW - The supervisor thanks you for you lovely compliments - she thought she deserved extra treats for being so special!!
