This designed is part of a larger design by Midnight Stitching called, A Quaker Floral. The fiber is a Thread Gatherer Silk 'N Colors "Spring Froche".
I received my squares that Kim stitched and the are just stunning. I know this picture won't do it justice.
These are so beautiful...I just love them. The peacock was a freebie at www.BirdCrossStitch.com, the letters and the little peacock came from Homespun Sampler's "Pollygaton" and "Patience". The fibers used are GAST Avocado and Dried Thyme; WDW Mulberry and Grape Ice; and Kreinik #4 #5740 and #015. PLUS Swavorski crystals. I took a closer up photo to give you a better idea.
I am trying to figure out what kind of finish to do for these. I want them so I can look at them! Thank you Kim!
And here is my new finish...

This was so fun. I hadn't done any Hardanger in quite awhile. It was good to get back into it.
Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!
