Scandinavian embroidery

I haven't been posting much recently, except about Tag Tuesday, but I haven't been idle!
I have been wanting to do some hand embroidery from Clare Youngs' scandinavian needlecraft book for a while now, and decided the best way to do it was to just  start something! The coat hanger cover was simple but satisfying to do, so I followed it with a cushion cover. I love the freshness of gingham, but must be careful not to go onto overload with it! There are lots more projects in this book, so watch this space ....

  1. Nice stitchwork on the gingham. I have looked at this book a few times online and wondered if it is good, I like the idea of the knitting bag on the front but I dont knit!
