Part 2 of Around the World in 80 Stitches is now complete and as with all Yvonnes designs, I have loved stitching it.
The Mordivian stitch was a "right Royal pain in the you know what!" I had to frog it several times before I was happy. I also wimped out and did the no-cut hardanger but I still like it and I wasn't sure how it would look when it was framed if I'd cut it..
Right, I'm going to have a quick flick around with a duster and the vacuum and then I'll settle down with my birds of a feather project. Hopefully I'll get an update to you soon.
Bye for now.

Beautiful stitching Midge. I think the un cut versions are as pretty as the cut ones. I had a few problems with the Mordovian stitch. One of these days I am going to do an experiment and see what it looks like stitched in a single strand,using a couple of complimentary colours. I think it will look very delicate and even more lacy.
ohhhhhh its gorgeous ... have got my threads out ready to do the floss toss then got way laid as you do ... must get a move on with it :) love mouse xxxxx
