Language of Love Update

Listen to that sound as the needle pops through!

Monday afternoons I have my stitching group and I have been working on the Language of Love piece.

I am getting there slowly.

Working with all seven strands (yes 7!) of the Silk d’alger (Au ver à soie) is interesting. The work is voluminous, almost three dimensional.

The hoop stand is a Anneome 2pcs Cross Stitch Stand (very light and small, so easy to take to classes).

More Purchases

Rebecca Devaney from Textile Tours of Paris had a sale. And I couldn’t resist more antique French tea towels and au ver à soie silk threads (I have quite a collection of them now).

As always, it came beautifully packaged (it even smells nice) with a little gift (the blue checked fabric is a little bag).
