DUCJFC 2016 - February 16 - Savannah Birth Record

I was a little on the fence about starting this one. This will be the second birth announcement that I stitch for DD and it's another medium-large start. But, I've liked the design for years, as simplistic as it is, and she really seems to like animals, so I think I would like to stitch it for her.

It comes with 14 count Aida, but I decided to swap it out with the same colour 22 count hardanger fabric. 

I managed a decent start this evening too:

I'm never sure if I want 2 over 1 or 1 over 1 on hardanger. I like the coverage of 2, but unless you're careful it can get messy-looking. I try and railroad every stitch to make sure it lies flat, and that definitely helps. 

The piece of fabric I have is quite large, so I want to try and get the outline done before I cut it off. I don't want to waste any if possible. 

Happy Stitching!

  2. It's lovely and looks like it has big blocks of colour so will stitch up fairly quickly.
    You're over 3/4 of the way through your challenge now. This year is just flying past! :)

  8. I was going to say that Sarah in Stitches did this one, but I've been beaten to it! Great choice for your daughter anyway.
