Always wanted to try Hardanger and were afraid it was too "hard?" Cotton Candy is a beautiful, lacy doily that is also a complete beginner course in Hardanger Embroidery! Yet it is still interesting enough for an "old hand" who needs a quick project. Seven of the most commonly used stitches are clearly diagrammed and thoroughly explained. Includes a diagram for a practice doodle and detailed cutting instructions to help get you over the fear of cutting.
For something a little different, you might want to stitch it in luxurious silks and embellish it with beads and pearls for a small cushion or ring pillow. There is even room enough in the center to stitch a small sentiment, wedding date, or special anniversary date!
