I’m not Dutch, but even so, I like this one from The Gift of Stitching, June ‘07 issue. I’m stitching this on 32 cnt cream Sienna using the recommended Glorianna silks: Midnight, Rosewood, and Autumn Gold. This isn’t the best picture, but you can see the variations in the gold. I included one of my newest pair of scissors from Bohn of France. How international!
I thought I’d include my flamingo I stitched several weeks ago. I am waiting on the rest of the materials needed to complete him (his feet in particular). I put another pair of new scissors next to him – a nice purple pair I found at my local LNS. You know, you can never have enough scissors.
Is the flamingo from the JCS Ornament issue? I love that bird!
Anna,
Yes it is. I think it is from 2003. I plan on doing the heron, pelican, and penguin in 2004-2006 by the same designer.
Finding the ultra suede for the fee at a reasonable price is getting interesting. It apparently goes for $35.00 a yard.
