Reliquary box, third panel finished


I will have to make a total of six panels for the embroidery covered box I am making, and here is number three. It is for one of the sides, and the two sides are identical. Did I really last post about it nearly a month ago? It almost felt like I just started it.

Now I think I will take a little break and make something fun. Meanwhile, in addition to my medieval-focused arts and crafts, I continue to work on my cartoneria and that is what is sucking up much of my time. That has to be my main focus since I have a deadline.

Hi Kathy!

I read your blog regularly and I have finally, finally!, gotten around to doing a bit of brick stitch. This particular pattern that you've stitched up here is what I started with.

I used the colours of silk I had at home, so it looks a bit garish, but I made a little pincushion. Here's what it looked like last night (I've removed the stitches holding down the sides and making it lumpy already)
