Finally I have a
finish I can show you - the latest Lizzie*Kate Travelling Pattern. This
came to me via Kate and here it is with Madame Muriel.
The card came with the pattern, it's great isn't it? I decided to stitch
the pattern in vaguely Christmassy colours and used variegated DMC 115 (red)
and 92 (green). I changed the flowers to bright red with yellow centres
so they were a little like poinsettias. But not much!
What I want to know is - how come I can do the most complicated TW and Mira's with nary a frog in sight but a simple little simple thing like this and they come along in pairs? First of all I stitched the entire satin stitch top border 2 threads to the left and had to frog it. Then I found I had stitched the "L" 2 threads too high so the red border was too high and the side satin stitches were out by 2 threads. I was not going to frog two whole sides so I jiggled the bottom two corners adding in extra stitches and no-one will know. Except 159 of you and you're not telling!!
