Elephant tapestry - 4 hours
I wanted to bring something along to Vancouver to occupy myself on the plane and during any downtime (ha!) while away. The two needlework projects I had going weren't good for travel. I figured the TSA would take one look at the punchneedle and scowl at me. The French knot rug requires the lap frame which is too much to carry along with my other necessities. So, I stretched some 32ct Jobelan onto my frame and sorted out five smaller projects. As it turned out, I worked on it only during the flight to Vancouver. Add one hour of work back here in Chicago, and this is roughly 4 hours of work.
The pattern is from Miniature Embroidery for the 20th Century Dolls' House by Pamela Warner. On the page before the pattern, the hanging is shown without the side motifs, and I rather liked it that way. I changed the colors, removed the side motifs and used only flower designs in the top row of motifs. This tiny tapestry will measure approximately 1 3/8" x 2 3/8" when finished and will likely end up in The Brownstone.
