The little stars tablerunner is now finished!
It is definitely for someone who likes blue! The fabrics aren't overtly Christmassy. Many of them have non-seasonal designs on them, and the others are more winter themed, with snowmen and snowflakes. Although I used a blue thread in the border, I used smoke coloured invisible thread for the central area. It has an all over meander, so I wanted something subtle.
And for the second thing, this is the tea towel on which I embroidered a monogram:
I used a combination of back stitch and stem stitch.
Hmmmm ... I notice that you monogrammed an "H". Do you perhaps know anyone who uses tea towels whose name starts with H? Just sayin' ... ;-)
ReplyDeleteAha, I think I do know someone whose name starts with an "h" ! Maybe even more than one person.
DeleteBoth are beautiful!! I especially love that monogram! I still have a few things that belonged to my grandmother which she had monogramed by hand. It's really a lost art. Yours is inspiring!! xoxo Silke
ReplyDeleteThanks Silke, I have a few monogrammed linen sheets from Sweden, and I like them a lot, you are lucky to have your grandmothers. It makes them really special
