I really love the work of Di van Niekerk. She does such lovely work and she makes it look so easy. Kathy posted a link to Di's YouTube video on doing the iris stitch and I thought I'd share too.
Also here is her video on spiderweb roses...they are often used in crazy quilting....
Di van Niekerk has other videos if you are interested....here.
Til next time.....
Take care:)

ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the embroidery on mine. Have been waiting for the silk ribbons to arrive so I can choose my floss colours. it's so hard to tell what the colours really will be when ordering online. I hope mine looks half as good as yours does.
