Blackwork with Nancy Pederson

I decided to take a short break from my current WIPs and do a few quick stitches . . . so went through my archives of “The Gift of Stitching” (which sadly stopped publication a few months ago) and printed out a couple of Nancy Pederson’s blackwork designs.  Great projects to use up little leftovers of fabric and threads.

Here is the result of several evenings stitching . . . A Jane Austen Bookmark from issue 64.

Daisy Ring (stitched on 18 count with the full border, and again on 14 count without the border – to make things the correct size for the finishing I have in mind) from issue 60

and I’ve just started Tudor Rose Bouquet from issue 65
