Retour au point de croix, un joli lin mauve pâle pour ce modèle de chez "Les jardins de Nana" mon n° 12, back to cross stitching with n° 12
Martine semble faire du hula hoop, elle m'accompagne et veille sur le DMC 310 pendant que je brode la jupe de ma parisienne.
Martine looks like she is doing hula hoop but she keeps my black thread ok!
The n° 16 is the snowball, one of the four Christmas patterns
Violette et sa garde-robe n° 18, la blouse et la cape sont terminées, beaucoup de travail de finition et des ourlets invisibles.
The cape and the shirt are finished, a lot of hand sewing for a nice finish and invisible hems.
Can't show you Violette's fittings cause she already left home, Capucine took her during a visit, she loves her new doll.
Les yoyos coeur/hearts du n° 19
Measi gives us a topic :
In honor of "Leap Year", tell the story of a time you had to make some sort of a "leap" in stitching - taking the chance on a new style of stitching, attending a meetup or class, etc.
I have loved embroidery since I was 12 years old discovering chain point in school, I tried a lot of points, made for example a Richelieu place mat, but one of the project that impressed me was the Bayeux technique.
Visiting a big fair in Paris, there was a Bayeux Broderie stall where I bought a kit. Something new with wool, very particular technique, historical link.
We have visited some years ago the museum in Bayeux to see the amazing tapestry.
I hope I'll be able to do it again with a new kit or a small project.
Don't forget if you're in France to bought the only newpaper printed on every February 29th "La bougie du sapeur" n° 11 in 2020.
Une parution tous les quatre ans pour la bougie du sapeur depuis 1980.
