Goldwork progress

Day 2 

Laid work. I really like it - slowly and methodically covering a shape with neat rows. For this lobe I place the couching stitches in rows across the shape. Double pale mushroom pink stitches over a doubled fine twist. It fills rather quickly, until...

 ...those ends. Folding each thread back and stitching it down. That is when I wonder if laid work really is such a good idea.

 I am sure it takes me at least twice as long as the actual embroidery. Turning it back over...

... it is worth the effort. 

Happily Stitching,
