Tessellations update


After the huge mistake I made back in March it's taken me a while to be able to face this again and unpick the 2 cells. I gave up trying to unpick them in the end and just cut the lot at the back so I ended up surrounded by all these little tiny orts of silk but it made a pretty pile. Once I started to stitch them in the right colour and I'd reached the waffle stitches (the one's that look like a square with a diamond on top in case you don't know the stitch, love doing them sooooooo much easier than the Jessica's!) I thought I'd try doing the 2 cells that form the diamond on either side in reverse as I had the silk cut and ready to go so I'll see how it goes with those before I decide which way round each cell will be done

My first new start

Tessellations by Orna Willis

Started at 1.30am on New Years day, not a good time to start a new project cause I ended up having to frog some of it!
I have 2 more cells to do in these colours but after 10 hours of unpicking Jessica stitches and redoing them several times I couldn't face it anymore
I'm sorry the pic is so dark, the colours are much brighter IRL
