Okay...I've been wanting to try Hardanger...so I am a complete beginner at this. The requirements are going to be kind of loose and very sender's choice! requirement: Make for your one partner a stitchery using Hardanger. Minimum size, at least 3 inches in the longest direction. If it isn't finished, be sure to leave 1-3 inches border. If you want to finish it into an ornament or doily or something hardanger seems to lend itself with already finished edges. (see image) Image is from the blog The Southpaw Stitcher It can be just hardanger or you can include cross stitch, needlepoint, embroidery, whatever the sender wishes. When I search the internet I do find a lot of resources so if you've never given this a try, but have the time and desire, join in! If you're experienced, join us anyway :-) Some links in our own forum about hardanger including some helpful links Hardanger discussion I'm giving both a long sign up time and a long send time, just in case. |
