So here's a gallery of some of my little UFOs.
I have one of these dated 1996 (the year we moved into this house) framed in my kitchen.
3 1/2" x 5 1/2" on 14 count Aida
I stitched this little 'Told In A Garden' piece on Monaco cloth.
2 5/8" x 2 5/8" over 2 threads
I bought this stocking kit at Hedgehog Stitchery two years ago. I have the backing fabric and they're ready to finish.
2" x 4 5/16" on 28 count linen over 2 threads
I bought this little kit in Harlingen, TX at Judy's Stitchery Nook. I think I stitched it in two nights while on vacation on South Padre island.
2 3/4" x 3 3/4" on 32 count linen over 2 threads
I stitched this up two nights ago. It's the 'Friends' FlipIt from Lizzie Kate. I used a scrap of linen.
I do prefer stitching on evenweave fabric rather than Aida cloth. I believe it gives a more 'polished' look to the piece.
A couple of years ago I took a couple of Hardanger classes at Hedgehog Stitchery and have completed a few small projects as well.
Hardanger is fun to do and very easy to finish most pieces. You just cut around the buttonhole stitching and add a hanger to the back and voilà! You're done!
That Hardanger stitchery would be amazing on some beautiful towels, pillowcases or napkins.
