Our lovely Post Lady has just retired and she has been so kind and friendly over all the years we have been here that i wanted to make her a Gift!
I found on Lakeside Needlecraft a Hardanger design and at the time wanted to stitch it, then thought what a nice Gift this would make.
It's stitched using Ecru #5 and #8 Perle threads on a pale sage green Hardanger fabric. I backed it with cream silk and trimmed it with fine cream cotton lace.
It's only about 8" square so just a bit of Fancy Deco.

The Hardanger Cushion has been Well received!! Our Post lady came around yesterday evening and she is Delighted!
She had never seen Hardanger before, she is not an embroiderer but could see and appreciate the work involved.
