Finished needlework

Decided today that maybe it is about time I posted to the blog again.I know it has been a while. so here are a few things that have been finished in the past year or so, though not necessarily started in the past year. All still need blocking and hemming, and they are wall hangings/tapestries.

This is French Romance by Nicola Mascall, stitched on 60 count silk Gauze with Soie Surfine silk thread.

This one is a Medieval tapestry designed by Natalia Frank, also stitched on 60 count silk gauze with Soie Surfine thread.

 

This design is by Natalia Frank, called Love Is, again on 60 count silk gauze with Soie Surfine thread.

Another design by Nicola Mascall, this one is Lazy Afternoon, and again stitched on 60 count silk gauze with Soie Surfine thread.

 

 

This one was started quite a while ago. It is the Unity of the State wall hanging by Nicola Mascall, also on 60 count with Soie Surfine.

Peacocks in Blossoms wall hanging by Nicola Mascall, 60 count gauze with Soie Surfine thread.

 

 

 

 

This one I am not yet sure of how to finish it. The design is by Elga Koster, called 1750 Dancing Couple. I stitched it on 72 count silk gauze with Soie Surfine.

 

  And the last one is Chiffre d’Amour designed by Natalia Frank and stitched on 60 count with Soie Surfine.

I seem to have stitched a lot of these on 60 count, but I am now changing to doing most of my stitching on 68 count, still with Soie Surfine. That silk thread is sooo nice and easy to work with, I just wish it came in more colours, since that would make it that much easier to convert form DMC.

Next time I’ll post about some of the other things I have been or am working on.
