09. La Broderie Quiet Hour

 


La Broderie Quiet Hour Sampler
Stitched on 28 count white linen


I used a Jodyri Thread called Aurora Borealis instead of the charted Waterlilies


The beads are more visible in real life.

In the centre I added four smaller beads rather than the charted charm.
This will make it easier to frame too.



I also swapped the placement of the initials and the year. If I sign a project I use all three of my initials not just JP.

I changed the green of the trees from 524 to 522 and the snowflakes to B5200, then added blending filament so they show up a little better.
