I must love this pattern since I also ordered the larger project Byzantine Rose and I think I have it in both fabrics ! (I pay a lot of attention to the fabric I'm stitching on. It's absolutely part of the thing). Anyway, I was surprised that this design is actually a bit more intricate (at least for me) than appears at first glance. I love the classic Mediterranean vibe and colors. Had a bit of a go about the hemstitch finish, and even took out a doodle cloth to practice several different techniques because I wasn't happy with the first few inches that I had sewn. I love how the Avlea designs are useful in everyday life.
Ooo! I really like it!
I have to add that after looking for guides on hemstitch, krista’s how to video on the subject Remains for me the clearest and most methodical guide to hemstitching. I need real step-by-step and she gives that.
How did I ever miss this one? What a perfect design, and your work is flawless (I enlarged the photo so I could admire it).
This looks beautiful!
I love this pattern too, and also have the large and small versions of it! I'm really looking forward to stitching the large version with the roosters. Your little piece looks terrific!
This is one of my all-time favorite patterns. I did the BIG version, and I love it. You did a great job on this sweet piece. I hope it makes you smile as much as it does me!
