I know it sounds like some kind of Medieval torture and not embroidery but 'bound' and 'stretched' are common words in my embroidery vocabulary. The lace cloth is stretched......... stretched, cut out and actually now applied to another piece of work. (will show you that another time) The white embroidered piece is now bound at the edges...more pictures of that process here.
I absolutely love binding edges...I love all aspects of stitch as you probably guessed so what's special about this? I suppose I don't love it more than anything else but I do adore the neatness of this edge...the finality of it, the crispness. Now I am tying myself in knots or at least I will do If I don't stop because I don't love it more than the edge on the wrapped piece above.....
OK Karen, button it and go.....you definitely are losing the plot.....happy Saturday!

The wrapped scrim piece has is as beautiful as I thought it would be, can't wait to see it in place
yes. the neatness of the edge appeals to me as well.
how beautiful your stitched scrim is Karen. it's evolved into something so much more...
It looks so fragile but very beautiful.
Enjoy your saturday.
The scrim lace is so beautiful. If I was a butterfly, I would come live in it! Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Stunning pieces of work yet again. I really enjoy the passion you have for embroidery...it's contagious AND inspiring.
How lovely to see how you finish a piece, and what a lovely quality finish, superb.
Looking lovely - fragile and strong at the same time!
So so fragile in looks - absolutely stunning work Karen (as always).
