The Tischband Leaf Video

Ask and you shall receive... well sometimes anyway!

Diane and Victats commented that they'd like a video on how to do the leaf from Ruth Scharf's Tischband (Tat-Along by Umi & Tsuru).  I hope you're still interested, ladies?

It only appears in this small format on the blog

but if you click on the links below it will take you to YouTube

where you can watch it in larger format.

On another note, I just saw Jane Eborall's latest post about HWT (hand-wound thread) and thought what a great idea!  The possibilities are endless!  Here is a simple, one-shuttle little motif made with three strands of sewing thread:

Motif no.16

Of course, you are aware of the three strands in the picots

but for the stitches, I think it makes a nice firm stitch that looks pretty good.

And here are the three colours I used.

I shall be experimenting some more with this idea.

Best wishes,
