I used running stitch in GST to do the "spotting" Jill- Thanks for the pictures - it looks beautiful! I will let my fellow EGA members know to check out the blog for progress pics. It's too bad the camera can't do the GST justice, though - it's so much more sparkly in person (or would that be "in jacket"?), and most especially in sunlight.

That is looking so impressive. You really do begin to get an idea of how it is going to look. The GST really adds to it. May I ask how the 'inside' of the foxglove is stitched. I really like the red spotting. CA Oh wow! That is looking so impressive. You really do begin to get an idea of how it is going to look. The GST really adds to it.

Despite the blanks it is already really beautiful. Just out of curiosity, and as someone who has not yet worked on it, why call them "the dreaded trefoils"? Thanks, Carolyn Thanks for the pictures, it gives a clear idea of the work left to do. Despite the blanks it is already really beautiful.

Just out of curiosity, and as someone who has not yet worked on it, why call them “the dreaded trefoils”?
