White Threads

bookmark complete!

It took less than 24 hours from go to whoa! The latest project for my book “Portuguese Whitework” is now complete; even the instructions are written.

I must say that I very much like these quick projects! Compared to nearly two years of *that* tablecloth, less than 24 hours is the way I like it!

I showed it to my friend, Belinda – the inspiration for the bookmark – and she feels that she’ll be able to make it. She’s an embroidery novice, so I’m glad she sees it as achievable. I think she’s actually quite excited by it!

I’m thinking there’s one more project I’ll need to make: a handtowel. The ideas for it have been happily percolating in my head for some time now, so its quite possible it will be commenced some time today or over the weekend. I don’t think it will be completed in 24 hours though!

    It is absolutely gorgeous! Mine probably won’t turn out as perfect as yours but I really am looking forward to it. Handtowel sounds great too 🙂

    Good to know that a novice feels it’s achievable – that’s encouraging!
