A Different Type of Cross-Stitch 2018 Part 3

A Different Type of Cross-Stitch 2018 Part 3

I have finished the bottom part so off to Laura’s for a bit of professionalism.

Cream Tassels

We decided that this time we would have Cream Fringe Tassels.

Neckline Sewn

In addition to adding the Tassels she also did the neckline for me.

Blue Neckline Crosses

 

I started adding Light Blue Crosses to match the Bottom.

Naughty Pattern

Unfortunately whilst sewing the Neckline, somehow the pattern came away. The material frays a great deal and I may have been too clumsy when stretching it to sew.

Hence a delay whiles Laura bless her cotton socks redoes the Binding to make it Jane Proof.

Red Chevron

I decided to use a vibrant Red to do the Chevrons. I think they show up quite well.

A Touch of Green

I wasn’t quite sure what colour to use next. In the end I thought a Touch of Green would make a nice contrast.

Persian Poncho

Here is the finished item. I am considering perhaps adding a little more colour to the actual Neckline itself but that will have to wait until next year.

N.B

Thanks for the rescue Laura

A Different Type of Cross-Stitch 2018 Part 2

I have now finished the Red part of the Motif and am now moving onto the next colour.

Purple Problem

Argh this is particularly annoying. I ran out just short of finishing the last Purple diamond. I therefore had to use a different colour. This new Purple will be used to Cross-Stitch the four small crosses on alternative diamonds.

Going for Gold

I am finally getting towards finishing the Border with the use of a nice Golden colour to infill the other diamonds.

Outer Finished

I have now completely finished the Border and it is ready for the next stage. For anybody that is interested the pattern depicted is a Persian Motif.
