So last night, while at the bookstore I was looking through the craft magazines and this one caught my eye:
There are many lovely projects in this magazine, but the one that REALLY caught my eye was the featured project “Well Wishes” by Maureen Tarnok. This type of project makes my heart go pitter-patter! I can only hope to have the type of skill, someday, to complete something this detailed and gorgeous. What I fell in love with the most about this project was the tree:
Look at all those lovely french knots! Just about my favorite stitch! I am actually going to attempt, at the very least, to make the tree. I have some left over course linen from a Halloween project a couple of years ago and I think I will do it on there. I want something a little more substantial than just a cotton or muslin. We’ll see what happens!
Here’s a better look at the whole project:

Oh. My. That is breathtaking. The tree caught my eye first too!
don't you love it when you find a good book like that and you can get so much use out of it!! It is delightful, I am sure you will get any hours of enjoyment from it
oh my gosh, that stuff is so amazing. I only wish that would be able to whip out something like that, although I haven't attempted much embroidery work. Nice find.
Oooh, I like that one too..I'll have to look that one up!
What I really wanna know is how those dangling lilacs have been created. The whole thing looks amazing. Thanks for sharing, it really is inspiring!
Wow, that is awesome!
Oh it's fantastic ! I've never been very good at french knots but this certainly makes me wish I was ! Good Luck and show us your tree !
