I've been working on embroidering this celtic knot border for almost a year and a half. This weekend I finished it. Wow!!!! It is amazing to step back and look at it. It is approx. 45in. on each side. I used a simple chain stich for the whole thing. This is my first project like this. The idea behind the project is a wedding quilt for my husband and I.
There are some technical problems with the piece that definitely need to be worked out before I start another large scale embroidery project. I did not use an interfacing and I think this caused puckering and some loose stiches. Despite the setbacks I think the overall effect is pretty successful. Not bad for a first try! (Can't ever start small)
I will continue posting images as I work out the middle of the piece, etc....Stay tuned....

That looks AMAZING!!! It really is so beautiful all spread out! Good for you!
Can't wait to see the middle section when it's done. The knot work is SO intricate, and for your first piece, I'm stupified. Keep up the fabulous work Mrs. Niehans!
