The rose will be a beautiful tribute.

I love the Hardanger too. I'm really impressed that you designed it as you went along.

Your hardanger piece is lovely. I am so impressed by the people on here doing it. The rose is also a really lovely idea and poignant to do for your son

Thank you. I found it very liberating not to have to refer to a chart and to just keep sewing, that was a change from my tiger which I have to look at every few stitches and change colour every few stitches too.

The rose is beautiful and such a lovely tribute!

Your Hardanger design is gorgeous, and isn't the texture of those satin stitches strokeable

It is Mabel. I had no idea the thread would be so smooth and tactile

Updating my Tiger's progress.

I hemmed my hardanger piece a couple of weeks ago. I went wrong on one side, the bottom as you look at it.I do know what I did, so, hopefully it won't be a mistake repeated. I will hem my next piece with this method . It is very neat and a pretty finish.

Wonderful on all of your projects. The hardanger is very pretty.

Tiger is getting on very well, and good job on the hemming!

I think the tiger is simply stunning!

I know you said it's tiresome to look at the chart every few stitches, but surely worth the effort. He's magnificent.

And as for the rose! What a truly lovely idea for your friend. I will really enjoy watching that come together.

And love the Hardanger too, esp impressed you charted it yourself. And I agree, satin stitches are SO strokable!!

That tiger! Wow. He's amazing

This is my last update, the next picture will be the finished project

it is difficult to see all the little bits left to do,there is still a bit of confetti to finish and a few french knots with five strands, I may find those a bit easier to do than the usual two strand fn, I hope so

It is incredible how that water just sloshes out of the picture! Great work, and very nearly there now

koko · Post by **koko** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 5:24 pm

Wow, the tiger is almost done, he looks amazing!!!!

I love the hardanger piece you did as well, it is beautiful!
