We use the metric system in South Africa, but centimetring along doesn't really do it! I'm working on the buttonhole edging of my bookmark. It's going slowly, with a lot of practice of outward and inward cornering. SherryL advised me to snug the thread against the needle before pulling it through. I'm doing that and it does give a neater result.
Inchworm, inchworm. Can't help trying to remember the rest of the words!!! It's looking FABULOUS.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the detail picture!
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely! As a language teacher, I spend a fair amount of time talking about words or expressions which haven't caught up to the world-and vice versa!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!
ReplyDeleteJane, Can this stitch worked out as a decorative collar?
ReplyDeleteSuch nice work. Is that a white yarn ?
It's a white perle cotton. I'm sure a similar design could be used for a collar.
DeleteThe extreme close up reveals how very precise your stitches are !!! Great embroidery, Jane !
ReplyDeleteLove your word play :-D Centimetering conjures up images of a centipede scurrying away ;-)
