What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Tiny Carpet #5 complete The work on this one has progressed really well this week. Last week I left you with the green partially done. Here is the green, completed (apart from the background). To begin the backgrounds for the top and bottom sections, I have chosen…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Needle Book #3, Tiny Carpet #5 Working on the front cover of the third and final needle book. Last time I showed the chart for this design: based on this Islamic prayer mat: I am steaming ahead with the embroidery. Here is the first stage completed -…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? More on tiny carpets This week I have been working on the second tiny carpet. Here is the design I made, adapted from an image I found on Pinterest. Beginning the design. This time, I didn't attempt to start in the middle. I knew the finished dimensions…
