Hardangar - Aura Doily

Hi all 

Hope all r doing well.  

Today I am happy to share with  you all my new hardanger doily called Aura doily.  It is a kit I have bought from Anita of Artistic fingers.  I am happy that I have done a proper hardanger piece with the proper threads and needles for it.  It took me a week to complete it and looking forward to do more hardanger pieces.  

But I didn't have the hardanger fabric at hand now and once the lockdown is over and everything comes to a normal I will purchase the hardanger fabric and do some projects out of it.  Now have a look at the doily.

It looks beautiful on a black background.  But I am afraid that it may get stains and I am in a plan of framing my first hardanger piece.  with a black background and white frame.  

Hope all of you like it.  I am ready with two more embroidery designs and I will be back with that post in a couple of days.  Till then, Happy embroidering and all of stay home, stay safe and be positive.  

Hardanger embroidery - A beginning

When I came across some hardanger embroidery pieces in some blogs I was tempted to do  learn it.  It was a simple counted thread embroidery.  while googling I got a simple pattern here.  I didn't have the hardanger cloth.  So I have given a try in plastic canvas.  It came out well and I am satisfied with the outcome.  Trying to learn more on hardanger embroidery.  Have a look and tell me how is it.

Words to Think: 

    Learn from your mistakes.  They are God's way of teaching you through your own follies.

Happy Embroidering.
