I finished the gift for my girlfriend which I will post next week after she receives it. So I was able to finally start hand stitching the streetcar Pittsburgh piece. I added the electric line that the trolley connects to as well as some gold windows that would have been lit up and some French knots for snow. In that small section there are 40 French knots so I guess this piece will have hundreds of them! I am using an embroidery thread by Weeks Dye Works. Interestingly enough it is a variegated thread called Icicle. The skein only has 5 yards so I need to buy more!
How do you think it’s looking?
Linking to Nina-Marie.
I think it is looking just gorgeous--I love that snow fabric--I personally love making french knots, but this will take quite a few [Phew!!;}}}]. Wonderful work on this, Chris hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteComing along nicely! I have to admit that I always enjoyed adding handstitched touches to some of my quilts. But then again, I've always kinda liked handwork.
