Autumn Inspiration

Fall colors and specialty stitches




Cutwork borders and shiny beads







Beautiful shading



A masterpiece in miniature (about 6 ½" by 4 ½")

It took me a year to finally sit down and stitch this and I’m not disappointed. But I’ve delayed the finishing because I want to do it justice and am just not sure what to do -frame it or hemstitch the borders. Maybe I’ll stitch the Miniature Winter Sampler and then decide. Hmmmmm, I’m thinkin’ . . .

  1. What a gorgeous piece. You did such a great job, especially with the fancy stitches. TW's designs are so detailed and interesting. It's a shame she's given up designing for counted thread.
