I keep thread in this little pencil box that I've had for years. She recognized it as having had a similar one in her younger days.
We each
started a little ornament on 28 count evenweave fabric, using #8 perle for
eyelet stitches and accentuate for Rhodes stitches. I’m using pale blue and silver, and although
I didn’t take a photo of hers, you can imagine it done in red perle with
gold.
I think
there will be beads in this ornament’s future.
We’ll see next week when we get together to work on them some more.

beautiful penbox and stitches
oh so pretty. Is it Hardanger?
Looking lovely!
You could use eyelets in Hardanger, but this is simply two stitches - eyelets and Rhodes.
You must have had a great time.
