New Hardanger finish and other past finishes

I've just finished this Hardanger doily.

These are older Hardanger pieces.  This pincushion was my first Hardanger piece, learnt at a class.

Here are some older embroidery finishes.  This is a thimblepip.  It opens up so you can store something small like a thimble.

April update

Im hoping to have  more time for other embroidery projects and to learn new techniques.

This is a project I started years ago and have just picked up again.  It is a raised gold stumpwork kit  called Extravaganza. The goldwork won't be worked until the silk embroidery is completed.

This is a Hardanger cloth.  I started this last year when working away from home, was easy to pack into a case to do in the hotel in the evenings.

This is the latest update on Spirit of Winter.  page 13 now completed
