My Pink Rose

Over recent months I have been stitching a fair bit but no finishing has been happening so in order to get back my finishing mojo, I decided to finish this sweet little piece.

My Pink Roses by Blackbird Designs stitched on 32ct spotty natural belfast linen with recommended threads

The backing fabric has been in my stash for ages and I coffee dyed some ric rac for the edging, which I sewed on with some Mill Hill pink beads.

Talking of ric rac, does anyone have any suggestions for some good sites to purchase trims, ric rac or chenille trim, etc either here in NZ or Australia, or online? I've been slowly using what I had but its now getting to slim pickings and my local sewing shop has only a small selection of trims. Cheers!

See you soon, and have a lovely weekend xx
