Preparations for Sunday

Chrissie's stitching Sundays, I'm a week behind but hope to catch up.

I've decided on cut work as I've never tried this before. It might not work, but using an old linen tea towel so will not loose out.


Traced pattern from a book onto grease proof paper.

Transferred design by going over design with a blunt pencil which left impression on the linen.

Used water soluble pen to draw the pattern.  Still wondering what colours to use, may just use cream for a traditional look.

Looking forward to starting the stitching on Sunday.

    I love cutwork. I think your piece is going to be beautiful, I love the design you chose as well as the colors.

      I'm quite apprehensive about this, it's well out of my comfort zone. Hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew.

      Thank you Joy. I like the blind in the book, but that would be a step too far.

    How fun! It looks like a great challenge, and if it doesn't work exactly like you want, the pattern is still so pretty that you could just do regular embroidery! I hope you take lots of pictures to show us all how you do it - I'm very interested in cutwork but I haven't worked up the courage yet...good luck and have fun! Chrissie x
