My Blackwork Exchange to Christie Rose
Tudor Rose stitched on 14ct aida with DMC 3325. Took 2 days to stitch and involved stitching with between 1 and 3 strands ina very finicky pattern. I did enjoy it but was glad to have it done. Christine has rceived this now. I finished with cardboard inserts and did a plain sew up on my sewing machine with finishing touches of white silky cording and a rose button to cover the loop.
