Wow! This is beautiful! What's your stich and row gauge?

atherleisure June 19 2015, 00:57:56 UTC

Thank you very much. The whole thing is 2 7/8" x 2 5/8" so it works out to 34 spi and 38 rpi.

Phew! That's teeny!

It took a little getting used to, and it's still a bit tricky at the start and end of rows, but it's really not too bad.

That warm blue is SO beautiful! The pattern just jumps out on this one. I'm not sure why, but I always associate those sort of carnations with the colour blue; maybe because carnations are often embroidered in blue in period? Looking forward to seeing the 1880s gown!

Thanks. I'm looking forward to finishing the buttons so I can take pictures of the 1880's dress. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out.
