   What is your base for this ACT? What tidy work you have done. It is lovely.

   Hi, magpie55, sorry for the late reply... anyway, this bit was taken from a much bigger embroidery (about A4 size) that got damaged, I just cut out a patch that was still good. The fabric is just white linen, and I drew the diamond lines with gold gutta and filled in each diamond with a different coloured thread (DMC stranded cotton) and handworked satin stitch. Mounted the piece on card, glued the overhang ontto the back of the card, and then another piece of coloured paper over that to hide the flaps. Pretty simple and unsophisticated. Hope this answers your question?

   You do wonderful handwork. Thanks for the explanation. I do see the exposed backing fabric.

    Thanks, Patti! So glad you can mae use of this idea. You have probably seen a related blog post of mine, but in case you haven't, I did one specifically about using up leftover thread and you can read it here.
