Work in Progress Wednesday
Here is my first attempt at the Catherine Wheel stitch. Please check out Queenie's Needlework for the instructions. Also, the meaning of the stitch is there as well. It is rather disturbing. Despite that, I could see that this is the perfect start for a mandala. The fabric is a gorgeous piece of silk. I am not happy with the mauve thread I used to embellish the buttonhole stitches. I think I will take that out and do it over.
