Please forgive the lousy cell phone photo -- it reads:
TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE
THE ROAD IS NEVER LONG
E.H.B. 1932
I really liked this blackwork piece:
I also saw a very sweet antique plate that read: "When two fond hearts unite -- the yoke is easy -- the burden light." I wasn't able to get a decent photo of it, but I thought it might be a cute saying to stitch up as a sampler myself. I guess this will have to go on the (growing!) project idea list...
Those are beautiful,
ReplyDeleteHi there! I love your blog, and I must admit that you really fast in making works! How could you have so many current projects in the same time and finish them so fast?
ReplyDeletePS: I never heard about blackwork before, so thanks for the link to the wikipedia. It's very amazing! :)
@Tonia: Thanks! I could spend all day browsing in antique shops for things like this!
ReplyDelete@Cassle: Thanks for visiting and for your lovely comment! I have a pretty long train commute every day, and it gives me lots of time to work on my needlepoint. I'm trying to pick my next project now, actually...
Hi there! I can't wait to see more updates with your work, so please take some photos of them when you get the time. :)
ReplyDeleteIs it hard to stitch while traveling with a train? I mentioned that you use hoops, but do you have any special equipment to help you stitch? I don't know the train's situation there, but here, it's a rather bumpy road than a smooth steel! LOL.
Oh one more thing... I know it might sounds silly, but could you please teach me how to wind the bobbins so tidy like you done for the banner? :) Thanks.. :)
