Today I made a little more progress on the new hussif. Actually, I've done a bit more than this, but right now it looks rather like a 'blob' of cross stitching that has no meaning, so you will have to wait and see what it will become. In the meantime...
Some sections of this hussif won't be embroidered because the pattern in the fabric is already perfect, as you can see here. All I've added is a simple cross stitch seam treatment at the bottom, some whipped buttonhole stitch on the upper right, along with the recipients name (another use for waste canvas!). I don't think she reads my blog, so it's safe.
Today the quote is from Terri Guillemets...."With arms outstretched, I thank. With heart beating gratefully, I love. With body in health, I jump for joy. With spirit full, I live"
Lovely seam stitching treatments and I do see the beauty in the fabric scene. Excellent quote. Thank you for sharing those links. Creative Bliss...
