I'm just having fun making largesse with something I love.
knitted cushion from the tomb of Fernando de la Cerda, 1275
Square kufic inscriptions
various Modelbucher
I used cotton floss because it's readily available to me, instead of silk floss. I used cotton Aida cloth instead of linen because the linen I bought turned out not to be evenweave after all.
I'm just playing around learning new techniques. I have started branching out into long-arm cross stitch, which is more period than counted cross stitch.
