Please check out Rachel and Annie's new starts as well on their blogs.
But now, here was my start:
It's a bit of a departure from Jolly July/Christmas starts, unless I get this done for an Xmas present maybe? I don't know if I want to frame it, maybe a long pillow? Anyways, need to finish it first.
Here's the floss toss:
I purchased the chart, fabric and floss at my closest LNS, and decided to go with silks to support her shop. I only get there once a year or less, so I do what I can. I'm not even sure if she's open currently.
And my small start:
I'm using the purple/blue for the words instead of brown and it's a fun stitch so far. I'll likely use DMC or stash hand-dyeds for the other bits.
And there we are! 17 new starts, a few finishes and a few WIPs left over. I'm thinking a wrap up in a week or so would be good, so I'll follow Rachel's lead with that.
Stay well and Happy Stitching!

I think you are wise using the purple/blue for the words, the brown just looks too blah.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing your progress.

This is a lovely chart but, after seeing your floss toss, am pleased you're changing the colours; the charted ones are a little drab.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your round-up post; it'll be interesting seeing everything together. :)
This is a lovely design, it's one of the things I always say to my son.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's a great one! Looks like it won't take too long to stitch up, either.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely new start. It's been fun to watch them all.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great pattern and I like how you're using blue for the words instead, it's more space like! There's a couple similar that I'd like to stitch for DH, especially since he's an aerospace engineer.
