Once more - the postcard

The postcard - with its frame -

I risk to bore you

I wanted to make a border with pulled stitches. I made them for the first time and saw that

it is not at all difficult. My next piece will have more - I am planning.....

It is looking like that - transfer paper on my "studio work horse" and a few colour ways

The green one will be my choice.

And now the surprise -

 

 

Our friendly neighbour came to bring us strawberries,

huges ones, the farmer in our village can't sell them, they are too large,

neverthelelss they taste well - I froze them for jam at a later time.

Now isn't that wonderful!

  5. You learn so much in Sharon's classes, and become brave and try unknown stitches. Your pulled work frame is nice, a good way to enclose the picture. I am sure the next piece will be stunning, too.
    Talking of stunning, that is one huge strawberry!
