You might think today will be a post about finishing up the last November start. And that's not exactly correct. I will post an update, but I've been a little distracted by the latest new shiny thing. And that is this zentangle design by crossstitch4everyone.
It will eventually look like this:
The reason I wanted to start this one was I managed to find this gorgeous fabric from BeStitchMe, called Autumn. And with a nice DMC 904, This is where I'm at so far on this project:
Vermont Zentangle by crossstitch4everyone
stitched 1 over 1 full cross on 28ct Autumn by BeStitchMe
There's a challenge to stitch 30 minutes on this every day during December, so I've been doing a thread length a day. It's led to some decent progress and fortunately the chart shows up on Pattern Keeper, so that makes it easier as well.
And here's where I'm at on ornament #4!
Moonrise #4 by Whispered by the Wind
stitched 2 over 1 on 14ct Illusion by Silkweavers
with DMC 310, 3799, 168, 735, 3865 and some RG blending filament on the moon
I need to get this one finished, but keep going back to the other project as well. I do need more DMC 904 since I only had one skein and I'll run out soon.
Stay well and happy stitching!

Hi Tiff: Very interesting Zentangle design, I really like the fabric color and the thread color is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI think doing a thread a night would make good progress.

Oh, shinies! I can see how this would be distracting. Looking great, the fabric really is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh that zentangle looks awesome! I see why it is distracting you.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family Tiff.
I'm not a fan of zentangles or adult colouring, but by just changing the outline colour from black to green you've already made it much more appealing! Considering the background fabric, I take it you're not colouring it in? :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful new piece. Yes I clicked the link. Jerk hahaha. Great work on your ornament.
