I want to share my completed kit from the collab between Bernadette Banner and Hand & Lock. It took me about 4 Months, on amd off. It was my first exploration in goldwork and there really was a lot to learn. I can still see where I started and where my patience ran out.

I like cutwork (the inner wheat parts), I loathe pearl purl (the outer wheat parts and the small stars on the top left) and love chipwork (the moon). Short pearl purl really is not for me, maybe longer works better.

The kit itself is nicely done, I have lots of leftover from everything. Nice, concise instructions, but very few pictures in the handbook.

I'm excited to do more goldwork in the future, but need something else in between.

Also, the back fabric is velvet, which I backed as per the instrution with another fabric I had lying around. I have no clue what to do with it now, apart from display on the wall- suggestions always welcome.
