Door cloth
Our bedroom door shrinks and swells with the weather. At the moment it's shrunk and no longer latches. Until recently, we kept it closed by jamming a handkerchief in the gap, but today I completed work on a much prettier solution :-)
It has a flap on the back so its thickness can be changed as the door changes size.
Here it is in use:
I learned to do three new stitches to do this: a woven leaf stitch for the green leaves, the cretan feather stitch for the red and yellow motif and cutwork for the holes for the door handles! It was fun :-) It took about 2 weeks to do but it's so much prettier than the hanky we were using before :-)
