I heard from Cathy today that she received the Drawn Thread exchange I stitched for her for the Friends Through Thread group. I had a lot of fun stitching this piece, especially trying all the specialty stitches, although I must say that some of them took a lot longer than I would have thought. At least I learnt some new stitching techniques and I really enjoyed using all those silks.

Designer: The Drawn Thread
Fabric: 36ct Edinburgh linen - Cream
Thread: Needlepoint Inc, Gloriana, Soie 100/3, Kreinik Japan Thread, Mill Hill beads, DMC

A very lovely scissor fob. Special stitches are a nice change sometimes, but I always come back to the little crosses. ;)
