Not sure what to do with it yet, I'm tempted to do some more using the same dimensions and create a series of them - oh for a few more free days in my week!<br />I'll show you the back, just so you can say "ohhhhhh dear"!!!! :-)<br />kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16852963693304001127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5564375103244826813.post-57181658563167152702016-01-25T19:24:02.007+00:002016-01-25T19:24:02.007+00:00Hi Els, no the filling is a bit more random, espec...Hi Els, no the filling is a bit more random, especially when you don't work out the order of stitching on a trial piece first! If done properly (Pam showed us the correct way) it loooks good on the back too, but not identical to the front in the way the Holbein stitch is.kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16852963693304001127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5564375103244826813.post-86678425638320645422016-01-24T22:38:05.937+00:002016-01-24T22:38:05.937+00:00Is the filling also done like the Holbein stitch ?...Is the filling also done like the Holbein stitch ?Elshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14599607935285683167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5564375103244826813.post-41853525852371071422016-01-24T17:26:00.866+00:002016-01-24T17:26:00.866+00:00Wow.

Any ideas about what you will do with it? Truly unique. Looking forward to seeing it in real life, and no, I won't look at the back.
