beautiful merezhka

Lisa from Canada emailed me last week to show off her latest finished project: its the bellpull from my book Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery: Merezhka Poltavska. Hasn’t she done a sterling job? You can’t tell the difference between hers and mine… oh, except the black thread ran on my when the steam iron spurted on it… Happily, Lisa’s doesn’t have any such blemishes!

Congratulations Lisa – its beautiful!

If you have photos of any of your finished embroideries that are from my books or my designs, please share them with us! You can email me at yvette at vettycreations dot com dot au, changing the words to symbols, where appropriate.

If you’d like to make one of these bellpulls for yourself, you can find the pattern and full instructions in Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery: Merezhka Poltavska by Yvette Stanton (me!).
