Natalia Frank 18 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I started stitching the medallion of this rug years ago when a pattern was not even completely finished yet. Sometimes I am so excited to start working on a new project that can't wait till I finish charting a pattern. So, I had to put it a side and wait until inspiration to finish the pattern hit me. A message from someone asking if the pattern is available reminded me about that forgotten carpet. I finished charting it, surprisingly for myself, in one breath literally. I called it VERA, that translates from Russian as Faith, to honor my Mom who always has been teaching me to finish anything whatever has been started. So, better late than never, true? The carpet was finished last October. This rug is stitched on 49 count silk gauze with Gutermann silk floss (only 4 colors) and measures 5" x 10" with fringe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Catherine Ronan 135 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 I came back for another look. It is really hard to believe there are only four colors in the rug. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
