How quickly the months go round and this weekend will be IHSW, I hope this time to make a better effort, last month's was disaster although I had great plans not a stitch was done. I have been working on some blackwork which will form the background for a design, here it is with my progress to date.
Hopefully over the weekend would like to complete the left side., the unusual shape is because when finished it will cover a heart shaped piece of cardboard... more about this later. Yes I have finally got round to stitching on sacking that is 28 count linen and I am using white coton a broder 35 for the stitching with petite white beads in the centres of the chain stitches. I am also working on another piece that also calls for no colour decisions. Started some years ago and put aside when more interesting things came along, it is intended as a cushion cover
I am at present working on the motifs that are filled with four sided stitch over 2 threads, there are 49 of these motifs and starting at the beginning of this month my plan was to stitch one motif a day however I am a little behind on my intentions, so I better stop typing and head off to a comfortable chair by the fire and start stitching
Will be back after the weekend to report my progress.

That second piece of yours has me intrigued! What kind of stitching is this? I'm not sure if it's hardanger or not. It is really really beautiful :)
