After finishing Lyndon's quilt, I decided to work on a couple of cross stitch projects. One is something that I bought LONG AGO and this year put it on my list of 2016 things to start. Thanks to my friend Connie, who I had given permission to bug me to start it and she did, I have started it. It was more of a scared reason why I didn't start it. It is complicated but that is one reason why I love Theresa Wentzler's designs. That plus it is medieval. Anyway, the main reason why I hadn't started it all those years ago was that it was a kit and it came with 28 count evenweave fabric. 28 COUNT EVENWEAVE? I have to stitch over two threads? Yikes!!!!!!!
Still I started it. I didn't get very far but it is started. I unstitched a number of stitches to correct some things but I consider it a good thing that i figured it out this early and not find it out when I'm 3/4 the way done. Of course if I found a MAJOR error 3/4 of the way into it, I'd probably ignore it . :)
I know, not much of a start but at least I started it! :)
I also am doing a small alphabet fairy for my initial B. It's coming along and fun to stitch because I don't know what it looks like in color. I only have a black and white chart to go from. It it being done on 18 count Aida. I have never done 18 count before but am liking it so far. I might have to do more on 18 count.
No quilting yet. I need to find a nice purple that will stand up to a Stonehenge green. It will be for a toddler named Raven. I plan on putting her name at the top and make pinwheel pattern. Once I find the right fabric, I'll start and you'll see pictures.
That's it for now. Everybody have a great evening/day.
