Perhaps this close up shot will show more of the Greek/Maltese Cross [??] weaving. I won't cut the centres of the remaining squares until almost the end, as I'm doing a fine spider web in those cut out areas. Obviously no pressing at this stage, so this is a rather crumpled offering. Lots more work to go just on this centre section, then I'll think about the outer area. I'm not sure yet of the exact dimensions, something around 40cm by 130cm. I think [hope] there will be enough at either end of the fabric to make drink coasters to match [one full square including the Greek Cross weaving].
Now, I must away to some more stitching before it gets too hot. I also can happily report we have two Tawny Frogmouth babies, so cute at the moment.
My thoughts are with those who are experiencing flooding in Victoria. It seems the weather has a little more in store for us yet.

Hardanger is my favorite type of embroidery. This is a beautiful project.
Absolutely stunning work Linda. You are just so versatile.

This is lovely work Linda. You are so brave to design as you go. I always feel very nervous about the cutting, but I too love Hardanger.
Beautiful work Linda..... designing as you go is the only way to go...
Great , even stitches... stunning
Such stunning work! Love seeing your hardanger. Like you it has either been too hot or too busy to sit and stitch. Oh how I miss our aircon... I think tomorrow is meant to be nice weather and maybe it is time to just forget about all the cleaning etc and do something for myself.
Lovely work as usual Linda. I don't do any handwork at all and I'm quite envious of yours.
You truly are an artist. Job well done.
Dont know how i missed this post my dear friend.....more lovely stitching and i so hope your have enough material left to do make the drink coasters....as you never know when i might visit for a drink...lol xx
just found your hardanger Linda, wonder how it is coming on as there does not appear to be a finnished piece yet,Look forward to seeing it, I have a piece of 25count to do a large tablecloth on but am considering replacing the table for a smaller one, mine seats 6 people or 8 at a squeeze and as I now am on my own could do with a smaller one and use the space for other things, more than likely relates to stitching!
