Dawn to Dusk - Motif 3-1, 3-2 & 3-3

I've been really pushing hard on Dawn to Dusk. I completed the third row of eight pointed stars and the third layer for 2 out of the 4 brocades that are left.

The patterns on this row are really pretty. I enjoyed the rice stitch on this one.

The second motif looks like a clock.

I got to practice the buttonhole stitch in the third motif. This one took a little more time to do than the other as there were multiple steps. I did make a few changes, I replaced the French knots with Japanese knots and a copper bead from the kit to hold the charm in place instead of a French knot.

I'm really close to a finish. I'm going to aim to get the third brocade layer for the last two areas done by Monday. That means, I'll only have the last row, beading and the border left to do.

  1. These look wonderful. I like the Rice Stitch too, I've not done it with three stitches over each corner before.

  3. Great progress! Rice stitch is one of my favourites, and yours is executed perfectly.
