What a gorgeous design and so beautifully stitched! Are they picots on the needleweaving?

By the way, that series of kits is lovely, although I was a bit surprised to see that sapphire wasn't blue... :thinks:

Oh my, that is amazing Susan!!! How can you call this a practice piece? If I'd managed to do this I'd be holding it up as my masterpiece! :king:

You have done a lovely job on this. The picots are not for the faint hearted, and look lovely with the dove's eyes. I like these classic series pieces, too. Excellent for learning.

I can see we are going to have to start a Hardanger group, like the HAED-cases! :dance:

A beautiful piece, the idea of cutting the fabric still scares me though :shock: Which makes me so much more in awe of it!

I finished the second of my Classic Embroidery hardanger kits yesterday, so here is Peridot - I really enjoyed stitching it.

Image

I've already gone out to my local quilting shop this morning and bought some fabric to make this into a cushion - although I'm not at all sure how to do this yet :? :? Any ideas or tutorials would be gratefully accepted :D

Serinde - great idea! As well as having the HAED-cases we should also have a group of HARD-cases :lol: :lol:
