Yet more post from Thistle Threads<\/a> –\u00a0 aren’t I a lucky girl!<\/p>\n

This time, the post contained the real metal threads for the Spot Sampler, and the materials for two pincushions that also form part of the course. There’s a piece of silk brocade, and two pieces of linen, and even more silk threads… I’ve not caught up with printing the instructions yet, so I’m not quite sure what I’m going to be doing with them, although I have had a quick look, and there’s at least one new stitch variation in among them.<\/p>\n

And bear in mind, I still haven’t finished the silk work on the Spot Sampler, and that there are going to be even more ornamental stitches to learn. This photo shows my progress so far. Over the last couple of days I have finished the bargello motif and made a lot of progress on the central motif at the bottom.

Instead of the ordinary square-woven fabric, the closely-worked Queen Stitches create a sort of heavy openwork lattice.
