Finish the other gable of the house, starting from row 20 (re-join in the middle of the house) For a Delft blue effect the door and windows are embroidered in blue on a white front. The roof and side are stitched on the right side, with stiches just beside the edge. This accentuates the edge of the roof. Decorate and sew up (see photos) |
