10. The Primitive Hare Hocus Pocus Cabinet

 

The Primitive Hare - Hocus Pocus Cabinet
Stitched on 32 count Vintage Country Mocha linen



I used a mixture of DMC, Anchor and Jodyri threads for this one.

 

Some half stitches using one strand for the bottles, Smyrna for the Spider Eggs in the jar and some whipped backstitch for the threads the little spiders are hanging from.





Framed in a simple black frame

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.
