ElgaKoster Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Everybody is so quiet, hoping you are all having time to make a few miniatures! I finished this new piece of petitpoint yesterday, it will go into the sliding screen of a new sewing table that I am busy making. I stitched it on 72 count slik gauze with Pipers silk. It took me 27 days to chart and stitch working on average three hours a day on it and it has a total of 10 614 stitches. The blue background made it very difficult to choose some of the other colors, I had to try a few greens before I was happy with the results.

You mentioned a new sewing table... is this new sewing table different from the design that you submitted for one of your Artisan pieces? I like your color selection... Blues can be very challenging!

ElgaKoster Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Tamra, from outside the table will look similar to the first one that I made in 2012. The drawer and writing surface however will differ a lot from the first one. I didn't submit a sewing table as everything you submit for Artisan has to made within the two years previous to submission date and my other sewing tables were older than that. Thank you, I am very happy with how the colors turned out in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
