I needed something to put one of my Nativity sets on, so I decided to do some Hardanger embroidery. Hardanger is usually done on white fabric with white thread. I wanted something darker so I decided to go with dark green fabric and a light green thread. Breaking with tradition can be fun. The embroidery is about 7 1/2" square.

The dark and light combination works great! Breaking tradition is fun at times. Excellent work as usual.
happy new year Jacq. I'm so glad we met in #35. how long does it take you to do this amazing work? i'm not good at hand work but when I see yours it makes me want to try. thank you for sharing.
Beautiful work - and the contrast in colors really sets off the motif. It does look time consuming, though. I'm sure your Nativity looked wonderful on this base.
