What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 My Smøyg is finished and framed and hanging on the wall.  

 

Smøyg is stitched up and down the fabric rather than across the fabric like most other forms of embroidery.  There's a lot of counting involved, and being off by one hole upsets the whole design.  

I've made a lot of progress on my Smoyg embroidery this year, and the end is now in sight.  

The top half:

There's just two and a half blocks to finish now.  The big black ones (which get a bit boring), and the diamond one just below half way - which shouldn't take long at all.  

I love the multicoloured blocks, but the black and white blocks look very effective too.  I love it all - especially when viewed from a distance.  

I've really enjoyed working on this sampler, and I'll be sad when ...

I've been busy preparing a couple of bumper recap blog posts about all the different things I've worked on this year.  I stumbled across some photos of my smoyg embroidery and thought I should give you an update.
