I&#8217;m so thrilled to see how they chose to stitch and finish them, and I feel like a very lucky girl to get to see them like this! \u00a0I draw humongously faster than I stitch! \u00a0And so far basketweave is pretty much my only stitch, unless you count French knots, which I rock at! \u00a0But I think I might have read somewhere that what I&#8217;m doing aren&#8217;t really French knots. \u00a0So whatever. \u00a0But I think Jane and Emily did the most amazing job picking stitches and threads for this.
