The next embroidery is all ready to go.  This is a traditional style of stitching from Norway.  It is very like Japanese Kogin but stitched with wool on linen.  I have stitched a sample bookmark using the Japanese technique, i.e. starting in the middle of the fabric and thread.  This time I am going to trial the Norwegian method, starting at the top left hand corner and the end of the thread.  It is on 40 count linen so I think I will need to use a a magnifier.

I am also using up 'orphan blocks' for CQ 4.  I have another row of 5" blocks to go around the edge and perhaps another red border or perhaps just red binding.

I have 'fudged' some of the measurements to fit the blocks together but I think once it is quilted this will not be too noticeable.

I started it today and found I have to use that magnifying glass. A lot finer than Kogin and using wool thread on linen is different.

I do but I’m not sure it will work with the slate frame.
