One more bird is ready and calling for a backstitch 🙂 And yes, it is white but you can see shining Aida on these photos.

The third part of Lakesideneedlecraft Christmas Tweetings Wreath Sal is ready.



The second part of this Sal ir ready 🙂 and it is ssooooo beautiful!



What much to comment on here, you can see for yourself – a bright, cheerful, colourful design. It has everything that distinguishes Durene Jones from other designers. You embroider it and smile because it makes you happy. For this project, I use White Iridescent Aida 14 count, DMS thread, and the needle minder from Lakesideneedlecraft. Now I can’t wait when the second part arrives. I took the photos at different times of the day. The first one – in the afternoon, when the sun was shining, the second and third in the morning.



Lakesideneedlecraft Quaker Ball Sal bu Durene Jones pattern in progress: beautiful batterfly with flowers.
As you can see, I wrap a hoop so that it does not slip and I can achieve the right tension of evenweave. I usually wrap it with a simple bandage, but you can do it with any thin fabric you like.


Next part of Lakesideneedlecraf Quaker Ball by Durene Jones pattern is ready 🙂



All three elements of the first art of the Quaker Ball Sal are ready. I regretted cross-stitching on evenweave. It was a nightmare to count the squares between one and the other hexagon without mistake. I think I got it right, and here’s the result.



The third part of this Durene Jones sal is ready, new transport is in blue.


The 2nd part of Durene Jones Sal is ready 🙂


I use 28 count evenweave and DMC stranded thread for this stitching. Stitches used: whole cross stitch and back stitch. Two strands are used for cross stitch and 1 strand for back stitch.
Did I say I wouldn’t start any new stitching until I finished the ones I started? But I wasn’t talking about Durene Jones projects! So there is the first part of Durene’s projest and I love it! The next part is going to be on Friday.
