Tast 6 and Transfer Printed Lace

This weeks stitch for Take a Stitch Tuesday is Chevron Stitch.

Once again my sample will be part of a fabric journal. On this page I have used some vintage fabric, painted/stamped paper, painted aida, transfer printed lace and ribbon and a metal washer. I have used cotton perle threads and stranded cotton. I don't like using stranded cotton, it always looks messy when I've finished, I think my stitching becomes more untidy the older I get!

Below are some transfer printed laces. Last time I used my transfer paints some had dried up so I thought I had better start using them more often before they are unusable. I also did some fabrics which I'll show another time.
