My two favourite pieces to date. I've posted both of these separately, but they were designed to be a set and they look good side by side, so here they are together.

Blackwork embroidery on 14-count black Aida. Each of these is just over 43cm (17") across.

Patterns here.

latest piece! I haven't posted in a while because I honestly found this super boring to make and let it sit on the pins for months while I tried to decide whether to make more or just cut it short. now I've given up I'm gonna go work on some new skills instead

purchased some new pins and a magnetic pin holder only to find the new pins (stainless steel, supposedly) aren't magnetic ?? baffled perplexed betrayed

haven't posted in a while but have stayed busy with projects!

some more projects from bestie Bridget Cook! the second I'm very fond of because between being white and small it's the first thing I've made that felt like REAL lace to me.

haven't decided what I'll make next but all the options have lots of spiders so spider content incoming!

when you're using bobbins, do you have a preferred working direction?
