Today's Drawn Thread finish is a bell pull. I'm not fond of my finish. I wish I had stitched this on a higher count. It seems a bit clunky to me. The folds indicate that this has been in a drawer for a long time.
I'm fond of delicate small sweet things. This would be much sweeter on a higher count. I'm sure I stitched it on 28. For many years that is all I used. Now my world has been expanded. My most usual count has been upped to 32. I've been know to be wild and crazy and do 40 on occasion. I actually have a piece of 50 to try out.
A reader who is listed as "no reply" asked me about the chart I am using to stitch the commission. It is a Danish chart that I bought on Ebay. The letters are fairly quick to stitch and as I'm am particularly fond of flowers I like the design.
I finished the commission yesterday and have to decide how to finish it.
Frame or pillow is the question. I'll have to check with DIL and see what she thinks.
