Canvaswork Pillows

The Athena's Thimble embroidery guild often embarks on large group projects. One recent project (finished for Birka 2014) was a set of new kneeling pillows for the Eastern royals.
This was my first attempt at canvaswork.

The next big project is a set of matching back pillows for the thrones. I had a slightly more complex piece to finish for this, but unfortunately the full project isn't done yet.  The side by side comparison makes me feel pretty great about my improvement, though.
