I worked the tail feathers for the peacock in pulled thread stitches as one of the first things I did. Now it is time to define them with padded satin stitch and trailing.

And to work a centre feature with eyelets.

| Ready to work the eyelets |

| Satin stitch complete |

| Continuous eyelets and working larger eyelets |
Some of the larger eyelet holes will be filled in with Ayreshire needlelace fillings.
This is so beautiful!! I can't wait to see the finish! Laura
