    2014/06/19

    Endspurt! …and again new progress concerning my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” embroidery project. 😀 The many hours which I recently worked at this embroidery project seem to finally pay off. After yesterdays posting I continued my work at the blue border. And now, after another 8 very busy hours filled with embroidery, I am very happy to tell that I just finished the blue border. …and here a new photo of my recent embroidery progress for you – enjoy! 😀

    12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon – sneak peek.24 – Endspurt!

    2014/06/17

    And again new progress concerning my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” embroidery. 😀 *Wow* Filling the second blue border with this medieval embroidery technique takes nearly forever but I am definitely not giving up. Despite all this never ending rows of small stitches and the awfully slow progress, I already made good progress on this last part of the embroidery. I am very confident of being able to finish this border and furthermore this embroidery project during the next days. 🙂 …and here two pictures of the recent progress of my medieval embroidery project for you. The blue border is the result of several very busy embroidery evenings – enjoy! 😀

    2014/06/13

    It took many long hours but I just completed another important part of my embroidery. Yes, I finally finished the work at the first border of my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” embroidery. 😀 As you can see on the picture underneath, a yellow border gently enframes my archangel Saint Michael now. Not only that, I also managed to finish the last part of the dragon. I added the last missing part of the dragons tail and completed the dragon. 🙂 …and here the picture with the recent progress of my medieval embroidery project for you – enjoy! 😀

    I purchased a printed scarf, and Racaire was able to help me with international shipping (via messenger). The item arrived quickly, exactly as promised, and beautifully wrapped. And as a bonus, Racaire is a lovely person. I recommend Racaire and hope to make future purchases soon!
