Okay, so after about a week of looking at it, I started the Mar/Apr edition of Piecework's cover project. Now, it is a 3.25 x 2.25" Knotwork "mini-rug". You can see a pic here:

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that about 14,500 knots??...for a 3.25 X
2.25 design? I don't think it will be added to my 'todo' list any time soon! :)Mavia

Mavia did you ever see the piece at the church in Rockingham? It's hanging just as you go in. Tree of Life, done by a woman who attended Bev Wiles crewel classes. The trunk of the tree is done in fine chain stitch but the leaves are all done in French Knots. It took her several years to complete, a labour of love for her church. How many people appreciate the skill and beauty of it, one wonders!!
The tree is actually about 18 - 20 inches tall, so we are not talking small. Done with silk on fine linen. No shortage of 'leaves' on the tree either. Well worth stopping by for a look.
That sounds impressive Sheena! Which church would that be?

It's the very popular one in Rockingham, I believe United Church. I saw the piece itself at Bev's so did not have to go to the Church to see it.
Thanks Sheena, I know where the United church is there. I'll make a point to check it out.

I love Teresa's designs - I'm currently halfway through the Bunny Run Around rug...which you can see here -
I've seen it on their website but as of yesterday I still can't find it on the news stands here in Ottawa. Nice project, but a little too involved for me. Still would like to get their magazine. I don't buy too many magazines lately, but the ones I do like, I do get and Piecework is one of them.
