Myreska Doily in new colour

Gunter is at the moment re stitching one of our Primke projects a Myreska doily, we can no longer get the Pink Lugano that it was originally designed in as our wholesaler is no longer importing it to Australia.  We have decided that the easiest solution is to dye our own pink Lugano, this one works really well with DMC 225 and as this is available in 5, 8 and 12 perle it will also work for anyone doing Hardanger Embroidery.

So here is a picture of the partly worked doily, what do you think of the colour

Needlepoint phone pocket by Gunter

Gunter has designed another phone pocket using Primke threads, this is again worked on 18 count canvas in 2 different colour ways.

Below is the photo of one colour way almost finished, then we really must get on and finish the instructions for both sets of phone pockets.  By the way mine is working out fine and it is getting lots of use and comments, this could be something to make for yourself or as a Christmas present.

New Primke Design by Gunter

Gunter has worked the wisteria in Primke threads and I think they almost look real.  The Wisteria is worked in Casalguidi technique on Cashel linen.  Gunter also frames all our pieces and I think the octagonal cut mat board gives the whole design an oriental flavour.

Gunter's Primke thread selection for Phone pocket

I thought you would be interested to see what Gunter’s version of my phone pocket looks like.  He again used Pimke perle 5 threads but in blues and greens with the same yellow as I used, but it has come out with a different feel to mine. What do you think?
