I think many of us have accumulated these little charts from JBW Designs over the years. They're small, monochromatic and have so many fun little details in them. I believe I've stitched some in the past, but can't remember for sure, however, I'm happy to start this one. I picked up this unusual fabric somewhere and decided I could use it for these charts to make them useful for decoration as well, therefore less finishing work will be needed!
I don't love stitching on soft, afghan style fabric, but with the Qsnaps I was able to get this tight enough that it wasn't too difficult to stitch. This is 18ct Zweigart Tannenbaum, which I stitched over 2, so ended up being 9ct. This was pretty fun to do, and although I did get off center a bit and changed up where the words go, I'm happy with the start and finish!

I'm thinking this will be a gift, but there is one more JBW with this fabric in the box, so we'll see if I keep this one or that one. I believe just some interface on the back will make this finished enough for use, although possibly something iron-on to make it look fancier would be nice? Suggestions welcome as always!
Hope today was a good stitching day!

A great stitch, very effective
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm happy with how it turned out.
DeleteGreat job getting your first finish out of the bunch already! Sometimes these smaller counts are fun to use.
ReplyDeleteI have another one to do as well. I don't even remember where I picked up the fabric, but it's a nice idea to get something on the fabric and hopefully in use as well, even seasonally.
