Nope, I didn't stitch all of this. Most of it is a piece of lace that has been stitched down to the canvas, then held down by embellishing stitches. It was a pain to do, and yes, I'm going to fix that corner with the loose thread as soon as I post this.
I wish we had had step-by-step photos showing the best way to stitch this. Actually, there are several areas where this kind of instruction would have been extremely useful. Most of the online teachers provide that level of information and it really helps when you're not in a face-to-face class.
On the domestic front, we now have a dishwasher that is installed and functioning. I almost kissed the plumber who hooked it up--then I almost kissed the dishwasher. I managed to restrain myself, but it was a close thing.
I may love to stitch things from the 17th century (the current project notwithstanding) but I definitely love my modern conveniences!
I really love the look of the lace over linen. I was also wondering about the box with the B's ... were they stitched in ribbon or raffia or in one of those Rainbow Gallery neons?
