Work in Progress Wednesday

New start - beady fobs. I had this piece of linen that I didn’t want to go to waste. It is perfect for making a few fobs. I think it is long enough to make about five fobs. These first two use DMC 106 and DMC 94.



New start - neckties hand stitched together with invisible thread.



Then I added some decorative stitching along the seams.

Oh, your Blackwork piece is fantastic. I am amazed how quickly you work.

Ties have always fascinated me. Often, the print/design is unique. It can hold a political stance, celebrate the season, and identify the wearer to others (old school tie, etc). It also adds a nice splash of colour to a dreary suit and white shirt.
By joining these ties together, you can really enjoy comparing them.

I wonder what you are planning to make them into... A bag?

Hi Pamela: the Fobs are so pretty, I have one you made a few years ago. Love the neckties. Your Blackwork is amazing, so many lovely stitches'.
