I have managed to get some progress in on my Joan Elliott mini. Sometimes I like to do some backstitching as a break from the little crosses and the back stitching on JE's mini projects is really straight forward. It can be quite relaxing. I also love watching that bit of definition make all the difference.

I'm leaving out the wording on this pattern as I like to have a few smalls to make into gifts and I want to try out some different finishing techniques. I think she is coming together really nicely, just another band of colour at the bottom of her dress, her hands, shoes and the back stitching left.
It is a shame that the subtle colour changes on areas of the fabby aren't visible in the photo, it looks completely uniform but it isn't. Apologies for the hoop marks. I am hoping to get some work on my YOTA piece over the rest of the week so I probably won't get this finished until the weekend, unless I have a free hour while I'm out and about.

The backstitching does look nice on this one! I absolutely hate backstitching when it's not straightforward and I rarely ever come across straightforward backstitching anymore. I think it's why I prefer HAED's.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute design. I too, love to backstitch. I need to work on my YOTA this week.
