Pulled thread mat

• I tried new thing and I liked it. 
• Heart's Delight. Pulled thread mat on 28ct. Cashel linen (white) using DMC Perle cotton 8 and 12.  The project is from Inspirations magazine Issue 94.
  Stitched - 18-24 June 2018
  Never done this before; turned out it is easier than it seems, as long as you are good at counting. Had some problems with this :)
• First using thicker DMC Perle cotton 8 you outline the shape with blanket stitch and with outline stitch - hearts inside.

And than with DMC Perle cotton 12 you do different pulled thread fillings in every heart. 
The scarest part is cutting everything out very close to the blanket stitch. 

Liked it  a lot. May even try it again some time later. 

Three-thread huck runner

Finally I managed to dress the loom for weaving of a table runner.
This is a Valley Yarns draft for placemats.

Never agian I am doing front-to-back warping, not my thing.
I measured the warp on April 11 and have the loom dressed two months later.
I hope I corrected all my mistakes and will be ready to weave tomorrow.

Stitch Maynia 2018

This year I decided to go small with my Stitch Maynia starts. As as result I have 12 finishes out of 18 starts! I do not like to stitch small projects - I enjoy long-term ones. But there are so many small designs I really love but keep postponing doing them till some other day. This May that happy day came! I called it French Maynia as all the starts were from French designers.
Birds are from Nature by MTSA and butterflies are from Les papillons by MTSA.

Stitched on 28ct. Permin (Wichelt) Natural linen 1 over 1.
