I got my hands on the DMC Perle 8 and Perle 12 that I needed to finish this project and so other than using the fabric stiffener on it, it is complete. I stitched it on an opalacent fabric because the patterns calls for beads which adds bling but since I was planning to make it into a bookmark, I thought the beads might pose a problem. I wish you could see it shimmer. My kids were impressed with the "holes" I made LOL!
Now this WIP pic was one I meant to post last week. I haven't had a chance to work on it since last week so this is what I managed to do after only one week's worth of stitching. I've taken to wearing magnifying glasses while I'm working on this piece. Steve laughs on the days that I don't put my contacts in. He calls me "Six Eyes."

That bookmark is gorgeous but WOW! on the poppies! My class project looks nice, but not that nice because it's on a larger count gauze lol ;). After I finish it I'm going to do my roses and violets on the 40 ct. :). Beautiful work as always! ((hugs))
WOWZERS!!! I love the bookmark. I'm too chicken to try hardanger.
And I LOVE the poppies!! Makes me dizzy looking at the teeny tiny stitches.
The bookmark turned out beautiful Sara, I bet it's so pretty and sparkly! The Poppies... Wow! It's turning out amazing and I think I would be blind doing all that, great job!
