Valerie Cowan –
“Diamond Delight 8” was an EGA Chapter project in which I participated. Stitching “DD8” was a challenge, but what fun–learning new stitches and using a variety of fibers and threads to complete the design!
Stitching the background requires patience, but the end result is well worth it. My finished and framed “DD8” hangs in a hallway of our home, and everyone who sees it admires the beauty and composition of this unique design.
