New project on its way!

One of the secretaries at the office will have a baby end May.
I decided to do a special personal gift to the baby.
We know it’s a girl; and the mother loves so much faeries and butterflies that I decided to embroider some of the pieces with faeries.
All the patterns I’ll use are free on DMC Creative World in the folder named “Color Variations Free Charts".

I never made X stitch before TAST. I don’t really like it but for this project I thought it was the best

TAST - Cross stitch

Sharon made a good choice with this week's stitch!
As I never had a try to cross-stitch, I decided to go first the traditional way.


That means for me to do some redwork using cross-stitch. As I already made a B for Böske, I wanted to add a Z for my last name.


I found this nice "Z" in digital archive on the Net (dm chart 1) just have a look!!! It's a real treasury chest and you will find it here with a lot of other resources!

My letter isn’t well made, so sorry ;o(
I used DMC flower thread n°; and is easy to use.

I also added some flower branche and made the seam using the same thread.

The seam was made in an unformal way; I wanted to test the stitch.

As this was my first attempt to cross stitch, please be indulgent!
