Engadine Chamois
Started: 1st December 2018
Finished: 1st December 2018
Pattern
Small Chamois from book of Engadine Filet (In German)
Materials
Net bought from Boutique Vulpius in Pontresina.
DMC Petra No.5 cotton thread
Notes
Traditional in the Engadine. Seen in windows of old houses. A fun souvenir from a wonderful holiday. We saw chamois in Val Roseg near Pontresina.
Only a small piece but quick to work.
Blocked by washing first, then pinned out with blocking wires. As the stitches are fairly loose this did mean they become more uneven. Next time I'll try not washing first.
Mounted by stretching gently over mount board. Worked well.
Status: Finished
