New stitch group project - Blackwork, designer Elizabeth Almond

I also worked on the Japanese Patterns, but didn’t take a picture.

Stitch Group Sunday

We met on Sunday and three stitchers had “show and tell” with their finished Hawaiian projects - two cushions and a wall hanging.

This one has a zipper back.

This one has a fold over flap.

The wall hanging has a sleeve on the back.

All three are fabulous. I think we will see the other cushion next time.

We started a new blackwork project - Box of Delights by designer Elizabeth Almond. I had already stitched this design and made it into a pillow, so I am starting a different Elizabeth Almond design.

First, everyone looked at the patterns and chose which designs. My finished pillow is on the end of the table.

Let the stitching begin!

Progress - I continue working from the center out. After finishing the thin blue border, I went to the piano key border and am about halfway around.
