here is the link for their website.
I like this magazine a lot; it carries out beautiful embroidery and great tutorials by very talented stitchers.
I started this piece from the 2005 magazine awhile ago, but I did not finished it until recently. The initial enthusiasm was not there after sometime as I felt the project was tedious. Then I had other art projects which I spent more time on.
Yet,I did not give up on it. When I took it out from the craft box last time, I made sure that I sew it to the end !
I ran out of yellow thread while stitching the background, and instead of buying new I used white thread which I had for the remaining of the work. [not a good decision]
I also did not do a good job on the fly stitch on the background of the bird panel, there are areas I simply did the running stitch only. The tutorial also mentions to add mirror pieces[shisha] to the shisha border but I did not have enough do so.
..... nevertheless with many flaws here is my attempt.
I am glad I completed it :)
Thank you for stopping by,
Until next time,
