JANUARY 2012
banner for the kitchen from the October 2009 issue, and last year I stitched it on aida band for my mother. But diat wasn’t enough for nie! 1 just loved the new stitch that I learned in the project - the Algerian eye stitch - and decided to use it for stitching earrings (above). 1 wanted to challenge myselfand tried to stitch smallest biscornu that 1 could. And 1 did! Each one is just 4x4 squares, with 2x2 squares of Algerian eye stitch. I stitched diem on five different colours of 14 count aida, and madę them into earrings. I just love wearing them. Again, thanks for being such an inspiration!
Each issue of your magazine gives me lots of new ideas, I j ust wish I had morę time to bring them alltolife.
