from the Terrace
I don't think I have ever seen a Hardanger motif like this one, it was exciting to watch it develop as I sewed.
The Hardanger medallion is an oval. In the next photo the butterfly medallion has a cutwork border and then the embroidery ends with a cross stitched floral ring and motif in the center of the ring and one above the edging. There is a wavy edging at the bottom of the embroidery on both pieces of this project.

from the Terrace
I was inspired by a beautiful American garden terrace to make this embroidery. After several weeks of viewing every angle I could find of this terrace I began work filled with inspiration.
The embroidery has a hand sewn finish that requires no framing. The design is twenty-two inches long by six and one half inches wide,it uses two pieces of fabric,and I used Weeks Dye Works to stitch the design.

Mistress Oops!
I couldn't do anything without her. She's my muse, never mind the band aids I need whenever she's around!. The needle rolls are approx. 55 sts wide and tall. The doll uses small pieces of counted thread fabric about 6 inches by 10 or 12 inches. The cotton fabric needed is about 18 inches by 7 inches and 10 inches by 7 inches, felt is needed for the hat.
