Years ago my mother started this Australia sampler for my father. She got a poor eyesight over
the years, so now I’m going to finish it for my parents. I share a weekly
update to keep me going.
Good progress this week. First
I finished the cross stitches on the fish.
Such a difference with
the backstitches added!
Then I stitched the
flowers below the fish. Not much different colours and large parts in the same
colour, so it didn’t take much time to finish it.
Again a huge difference
when I added the backstitches.
And this is how the Australia
sampler looks now. The next part is bigger and will take much more time.
The Back Stitch is more important than we think in Cross Stitch. It is turning out to be a lovely sampler.
