Back in March I showed you these gorgeous threads I had chosen for my pulled thread work called "Holey Moley".
We've had four lessons so far, and have learnt some new techniques.
I'm currently spending a lot of time stitching the outlines and then filling the areas with Rhodes stitch in pink.
This is a unique design developed for us by our tutor. Please respect that, and if you'd like to make something similar, please be sure to modify it to make it uniquely yours. (Sorry to have to say that, but I have to say it because it's not my design.)
See how big the piece of linen is!!! See how much more I've still got to do!!
Yes, it's going to be lovely when it's finished, but that is still many months (dare I say "years") away.

OMG Wendy..it is drop dead gorgeous..and so "William and May Morris" like too.....love it all especially those gorgeous stitches! Tell your teacher she is amazing!
Wow! Those stitches look so small. Are you using a frame or hoop of any kind when you stitch? I think you are an extremely talented lady. I look forward to seeing more of this piece as you go along.
That is so incredibly lovely! Keep sending us progress posts! 8-)

Such beautiful stitching! I have recently rediscovered how soothing embroidery can be and will do more in the future too.
Just gorgeous. I too started with embroidery before patchwork.
Your stitching is gorgeous. I don't do much pulled thread work, but would love to learn. Wonder if there is a teacher near-by? I will explore!
