Altar Cloth Progress Report #2

The last time I posted an update on the altar cloth that is being stitched by Mrs, Szigethy only a small section had been completed.  Look how much progress she has made since that last post!


I think that she is approaching the center; more than likely this chalice is the center front.



Isn't this floral medallion gorgeous?  Note how each circle and even the center circle has a different pattern woven in it.


I'm in awe of how much she has accomplished in the past 21 days. Many thanks to Mrs. Szigethy's daughter for sharing these photos with us!

I went back to view the page and also the other posts again. To be able to create such perfectly formed tiny stitches on such a sheer and delicate fabric fascinates me. There isn't one pucker or dimple anywhere which shows that she is certainly a master at this beautiful craft. I hope everyone who sees this displayed will take a closer look and appreciate the work involved.
