While I need a little more time to finish my first blackwork tree before I can put a photo on my blog, I thought I would show you this Casalguidi project for which I have just received my supplies yesterday. It is called Casalguidi and Lavender and has been designed especially for the Embroiderers' Guild of America by Barbara M. Kershaw.
.
This project when finished will measure approximately 6" by 6" and it has been designed by Barbara to be finished as a scented sachet, putting some lavender inside, which is the scent I love the most, just so relaxing.
.
I first saw a casalguidi project in the Australian magazine called Inspiration and thought to myself I just need to learn this Italian technique as it is just so beautiful and when this course was offered by my online chapter EGA CyberStitchers I made sure to purchase it so that I could learn the basics. Those courses are just perfect to get us started with a new technique the proper way.
.
Will try to finish that blackwork tree today and put a photo of it either later today or tomorrow :-)

A cute little project that will be ideal for a practice run for the bag the is in Inspirations, not sure when I will get around to mine as just so many projects calling me, it is high on my todo list so will see how long it is before it shouts louder to be stitched than all the others
This will be interesting to follow. It is very pretty!
Oh Terry,
I am sure that when you see me start on mine, you will be tempted to work on yours too :-)

Thanks, Pat.
Looking forward to see it progress myself.
I so enjoyed stitching the Princess and the Pea.
