Progress on Armenian Gendje Carpet

Here's the current state of the carpet I'm working on from Meik and Ian McNaughton's Making Miniature Oriental Carpets:



 I've loved this one since I first saw the pattern, although I was intimidated by the complexity of the design.  It's much simpler to stitch than it appears, once the basic framework is set up.

In related news, I am the proud owner of a copy of Annelle Ferguson's book Traditional Needlework in Miniature.  YEE HAW!  After months of tracking down a copy of this out of print gem, I finally got one!  I am stoked to start stitching from it ...

  5. Wow, so beautiful! You are really inspiring me to try to make a dollhouse of my own...though I don't think I'd be able to make one nearly as nice as yours! Your needlework is incredible. Your hard work is definitely paying off, everything looks just stunning!
