more details ...

This Yoko Saito project I'm working on is quite small - the blue arch is only 1.25" tall.  But you know I like little.  So even thought there is quite a lot of detail here, I enjoy the short bursts of intricate stitching ... not at all overwhelming.  And the embroidery is all single ply, making the design so light and delicate.  Now on to the hand quilting.

A total feast for the eyes. Thank you.

[Paula]

Wow, this is so so very pretty. Beautiful work. Looking forward to seeing more

[Karen]

looks great - the more I see so many embroidery projects out in blog land the more I have decided that when I clear up a few projects I need to do some in my new projects

[Archiethewonderdog]

Exquisite!

[Marge]

Can't wait to see the whole project! This is absolutely beautiful! Although, that doesn't surprise me....all your work is beautiful.

[Cindy]

It's so beautiful and also hard to believe you got all that detail in such a small space!

[Robbin]

Wow that is pretty!

[Lisa Chavez]

Beautiful! I can't wait to see this finished!

[Kristy]

OH MY....eye candy. I just ordered several of Yoko's books.........cannot wait for them to come in. So excited to see the final reveal on this project. Another question........are you on instagram and I just haven't found you yet? Kristy

[jenni]

I can hardly wait to see the whole project!

[SamanthaK]

Beautiful! I cannot wait to see the entire project.

I like that you put in the size for a reference-it is often hard to tell with the zoomed in pictures--I think things get cuter the smaller they get!

[Tiffany]

Wow, just beautiful!! I'm still new to this, so I've never heard of Yoko, but I think I'm going to have to look her up!
While machine quilting my S is for Stitch quilt, the ballerina block picked. One of the colonial knots came undone and now there is a very short thread (~1") that I'm not sure what to do with. I can't seem to knot it again and I don't want to cut it because all my other knots could come undone since they're all connected. Any ideas?

[Barbara]

Hi! Your stitching is always perfect! Could you write the title of Yoko's book where we can find this pattern? Thank you.

[Bari Jo]

Wow! Is this a pillowcase perhaps? I LOVE that it is teeny….. amazing…. can't wait to see the reveal!

Oh my, Kristyne, whatever this little gem is going to be, it will certainly be beautiful. Your work is always impeccable....can't wait to see the finish! Happy New Year!

Oh my...that is beautiful! You do beautiful work. I started out hand stitching and moved on to sewing/quilting because of arthritis, but I sure did love it.

Simple gorgeous and sweet! xo Heather

[Heather (mtl)]

Thanks for the size perspective. but oh, my! you make such teensy stitches look so sweet!
With leftover blocks from a quilt, I made a table runner and pot holder (Amy's pattern) adding some delicious cretan and colonnial knots (love them much better than french knot- thanks for the tip) on the pot holder. They really add something special - thanks for the idea :)

[Beth]

I thought it was going to be a beautiful rendition of the Olympic circles! Now I will just have to wait and see, it looks beautiful.

[Jill]

I look forward to seeing the reveal.

[Karen at A Glimpse Into My Reveries]

[Karen Shackleford]

That's absolutely gorgeous, Kristyne. Can't wait to see the finished project!

[Jeannie D]

This reminds me of summer vacation at Grandmom's house...she had beautiful, delicately embroidered pillowcases...I loved to nap on them. Riveted to my computer screen for your reveal!

[Marie Atkinson]

These little teases are so pretty I just can't wait to see the whole project!

[LJ]

Your work is absolutely amazing. What an inspiration!

[Tracey S]

So pretty!

Did I miss the post on who the lucky giveaway winner was! Congrats to whoever won the adorable fabric! Happy stitching!

[Mary Fioretti]

You inspire me. It's so gorgeous. I'm going to start, after I finish another armchair project, the alphabet. So many baby blankets need to be made, I'm falling behind.

[Elaine]

That is just the prettiest thing ever! I am glad you clarified the size, I am however, craving to see a coin or a pin in the mix so my mind can calibrate it properly, LOL. I don't know if my fingers can manage or my eyes can even see that. You have a gift! Nicely done!

[Judy Clark]

What GORGEOUS work!
