More goldwork dots today! But I think it’s the last time I’m going to show them to you.

You see, I’m musing about how much of the Medallion Project to show you these days. I don’t want to bore you to death with the slow progress!

And it is slow progress. All hand embroidery is slow progress, compared to what we’ve become used to with machines to do all our work. The slowness of it – the whole “journey” of any handwork project – is part of the appeal of handwork. Whipping out the Medallion on a machine wouldn’t be quite the same! And in fact, it couldn’t be the same. Many of the elements of this project can only be achieved by hand. And even those that could be achieved by machine wouldn’t look the same. So the progress is slow, and I can live with that.

But can you?!
