Assisi Peacock
threads: DMC 3844 / black AVS silk
overall size: 3.25" x 9"
Honestly, not only do I love everything about this piece (the color, the black border, the bird, the overall design, the size, etc.), I fell in love with it about an hour ago when I got the circles stitched around the tail dots.
favorite part
I won't talk about how I lost my religion doing this part:
%#^#!**&$#@!
It would not have been so bad, but remember the backstitch is done lastly. All those little quarter and eighth stitches around those grapes (without any black outlines to help) made me crave some grapes of my own!
Tomorrow, if time permits, I'm going to fashion this into a candle wrapper.
I'll keep you posted...
hooray

Marie, I found this pattern in a library book that I borrowed for about two weeks and then returned to library. I am sorry but I have no clue what the book was titled.
ReplyDeletethank you for your reply I will continue my research
