Last evening as I stitched, I actually remembered to take some pictures as I went along. First, I stitched the kloster blocks around the perimeter:
Next it was time to set scissor to cloth. This is as traumatizing to do as it is to see.
Pulling threads is the Moment of Truth- here are two […]
After a week or two of experimenting with my initial rotation, I’ve decided to scrap the “you must work on Project A on Monday” course of action.
