Yes, I've been away and visited Germany - I will have to post some photo's later. But I did take some stitching with me, and I have just finished them. Yes, that's right I stitched two Hardanger pieces and here they are.
Based on Hardanger Crystal 3 by Nordic Needle |
Based on Hardanger Crystal 4 by Nordic Needle |
I changed the needle weaving in the the middle on Crystal 3 and also added beads instead of crystals.
The only thing missing on Crystal 4 are the crystals. The threads I used are Anchor 1345, pearl cotton and stranded cotton.
Until next time, Happy Stitching

I hope you had a wonderful holiday, Mary Joan! I love your hardanger pieces and would love to know what the threads were. I love the green/blue combination!
They're gorgeous Mary Joan. Love them both. I hope you had a smashing time on your holiday. Do you have pics to share?
Absolutely LOVE the pieces Mary Joan! I'll have to see if I can get that thread here and see where I can use it! It looks really gorgeous!
What lovely work! I really admire this talent. I bought some pearl cotton floss and had NO idea what Hardanger was...now I do.
