This is the nice corner of yet another cushion top, a floor cushion. It's pair is well worn so I shounld get a wiggle on and finish this... It's too dark to photograph the other now so it'll have to wait.
I love the gloss mohairs available, and working on something like this looks good with big, fat stitches. I have a few more of the tapestry slips here too, but really have gone slightly off the style these days... I mean, they're classic and innately lovely, but I'm a bit over the symbolism and the medieval style... as far as emulating it is concerned at least.
I want to be now baby!
Maidenhair stitch is a beautiful thing, and can be embellish endlessly, like all of the others (just thought I'd share that with you).
(And you know what, I just noticed how less sombre my colour choices are these days. Compare this to the previous post!, which is much newer, must be like... I used to be skinny and now I'm a bit chubby and people say it's because I'm happy!)
