I love it Clare! Thank you so much. I have always wanted to learn hardanger and having this just makes me more motivated to learn it. I love the effect of the lacy holes and I think they're called Dove's eyes?? Beautiful.
And I also couldn't resist a new start. I see so many blogs where peeps have ten, maybe even twenty wips and I actually only have a few. I have even surprised myself but I don't have that many. Maybe five. So I had this freebie kitted up for a while and made a start on it a few days ago. This is the Marquoir Marie - Rose and you can find it on Anne Valerie's blog.
Aren't the colours extraordinary! I am not sure about them except that Ann over on Tempus Fugit did a fine job and it looks great when finished.
I have just noticed that the new part of the Isa V Marquior is out so I'm off to find it and download. Happy stitching folks and don't forget to enter my giveaway if you haven't already. xx
That is a lovely gift! Where will you display it?
ReplyDeleteI like those colors too, very unusual.
Oh, what a beauty this biscornu is. Fantastic. Clare was doing a great job.
ReplyDeleteI also have just a couple of WIPs but unfortunately they are all so big. But like you I also feel inspired to start new projects when seeing all the new starts on the blogs. Aren't blogs motivating? Lol. The sampler you started has such vibrant colours, it's certainly fun to stitch it.
What a beautiful gift! I love the new start.:)
ReplyDeleteLucky you! The biscornu from Clare is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in the freebie, it might just go with my blog, lol.

ReplyDeleteYour Marie-Rose sampler looks wonderful so far! I like a few--about 5 or so--WIPs going so that I have something to switch to when I am bored with filling in. I do envy the people who can do big rotations, though, and still get stuff done!
That is an extraordinary biscornu. Just lovely. (Helen, hehe)

ReplyDeleteYou don't see hardanger biscornus very often - you're a lucky stitcher!!
Hi Hazel. That is a lovely Biscornu. It is indeed Dove's Eyes, that is alos wrapped bars instead of needlewoven bars. I love to do Hardanger myself. Have fun if and when you do learn to do Hardanger. If you need help feel free to contact me at moonchild776@aol.com and I can direct you to a site that has some great helpers on it.
ReplyDeleteI know you don't know me but I read your blog frequently :-)
What a beautiful biscornu that Clare stitched for you. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove your new start. In fact I went and downloaded all the parts myself as I'd love to stitch it one day!
Oh my goodness, that biscornu is a jewel! Good for you.
