Weekend Stitching

It was such a pleasure to be able to stitch again after the week of my sickness. So, I thought if I enjoy stitching so much it's better to work on my less favorite sampler. It was a good decision! I finished Part 5 of EMS "Rose Sampler" very fast this time.

I do not know why the camera changed the colors so much, the color of the cloth must be pure white. I was a bad photographer today. lol Anyway Part 5 is done!

I've wanted to test DMC Rayon floss for a long time. And for the test I chose Dames Of The Needle "Fleur De Lis And Acorn Scissor Case". When I first saw the design I liked the way it is embellished, an unusual combination of sequinis and beads. Besides it was interesting to try to finish the scissor case in such a way that not a single end of the trim was exposed. Those of you who made scissor cases of identical form understand that that is a challenge.

I hand braided the trim for the case and I think the task I set for myself was fulfilled. I was happy with how the case turned out and decided to make a pinkeep and a fob to match the scissor case. Here are some pictures of the set:

I did not like the pictures I took yesterday, in the morning I took some new ones and deleted the old pictures. In the comments I was asked if I liked to work with Rayon floss. Well, they are different, thicker than usual cotton floss, a little resemble thick Trebizond silk floss and sometimes they are ready to tangle very easily. But I am very patient and the result not the speed is more important for me. I will stitch with them another time.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comments.

Happy stitching to everybody and take care.
