Needlepoint 12.25" x 9.5", December 2018. Pillow 16" x 16", Summer 2019.
Needlepoint on 13-mesh canvas, Planet Earth Fiber 100% silk yarn. Design was based on motifs from North African carpets and textiles. Fairfield poly-fil pillow form, cotton fabric.
Technical challenges:  Lots of work with graph paper to make sure all the different elements would line up nicely. Caught a few stitching mistakes in time to fix them; missed several others and had to stitch over them.
