My niece Sue is the first in her generation of our family to reach the big 50. I decided to stitch something small that I hoped would be a real treasure.. Here is what I stitched. I really enjoyed Ann B's resent workshop "Latvian Inspired mat"and with some help from Ann I used latvian designs on the piece I created for Sue. These rich blue tonings with the touch of rust came up really well, and it was a very enjoyable piece to stitch. I stitched on 40 count permin linen and the blues were DMC 3808 & 3810, the rust is 920.
The whole item is made in one piece and then folded up.
This last photo is one of Ann's sample pieces she stitched torecord patterns when designing her mat it is not the mat we atitched at the workshop.
I an making good progress on my little list, It is interesting to read what everyones favourite colours is. There is still time to enter my blog anniversary give away see the previous post for details.
