Challenges Entered: "Ooo, Shiny!" - A Goldwork Embroidery Challenge, Wool Applique Cushion, Stretch That Comfort Zone! , Lace Challenge

Project: Reticella Square, Wool Pin Pillow

Project 1 is for Lace challenge #1 & Stretch that Comfort Zone.

I made a reticella square. Ultimately it is too large and very wonky, but I learned a lot and will be planning another project using what I learned. (3 photos attached). Details of the making and what I learned are at this blog post:

Project 2 is for Wool Applique Cushion & "Ooo, Shiney!" - A Goldwork Embroidery Challenge.

I made a wool pin pillow using applique and gilt leather. For me the gilt leather was new to work with. I will be planning another project, possibly with different leather. (4 photos attached) Details of the making and what I learned are at this blog post:
