Encrusted Calico - Progress

Well I'm nearly there.  Although I'm not too happy with the shape, I think I might try and round it up a bit.  The initial plan was to kind of have a bit of a wavy, more random edge but the sides haven't worked out that way.  

Oh well, a few more days stitching will save me having to worry about what my next project will be for a bit longer.  That and what I'm going to do once TAST is finished - gulp! 

Hubby is suggesting rather strongly that I frame this one when its done.  Whats wrong with a box full of embroidery - thats what I'd like to know.  But yes I might frame this one and I have my first stump work piece that needs a frame too.


You may or may not have noticed that the other bone button (from the bottom right) is missing.  Once I'd shifted a couple of bits around I figured I might as well get rid of that one as well.  Hey! don't judge its my project and I can do what I want 😝

TAST - Closed Herringbone

Still a few more weeks of TAST to go.  This weeks stitch is Closed Herringbone, the tutorial on Pintangle is here and as per usual I've borrowed a picture from the tutorial.  Hmmmm, it kind of lends itself to long tail feathers or maybe a thatched roof.  Although its highly unlikely I will be able to get it THAT neat and even.  Will have to put my thinking cap on.  

Thats it for now.

  1. Your encrusted calico looks amazing, and so life-like.

    I've got 20+ years of stitching in a box. Nothing wrong with that. lol
