BJP 08 - September page

Stiching : detached chain stitch, fly stitch, cross stitch, couching in wool, silk and cotton threads.
Beads E and # 8, 11 and 15 (charlotte)

A lot of fun to do :-)

BJP2008 - Ready to go

I've got the idea for the final piece using the twelve squares, found and/or dyed the fabrics and threads, collected the beads and bought some more (I always need more colors, sizes, you know what I mean... LOL) and prepared the 12 backgrounds (boring task).

The background is a simple off white square 4" x 4", stitched on a turquoise 6" x 6" fabric (3 different tones of hand dyed turquoise)
The little square, which is my BJP page, will be embellished with various stitches and beads.

NOW begins the pleasure !
