Jo always chooses some gifted stitching she completed in the previous year for the new badge. This beauty is Passione Ricamo I believe.
I haven't posted for GG in a bit because of life stuff, but will try and keep on track this year, all things being equal. I hope everyone has had a good start to the New Year and decade depending on how you think of it, whether 2020 is the end of the old decade or the start of the new. All I know is it's amazing how easily you can turn a '1' into a '2' when you're writing the date. :D
Since you've seen a lot of finishes, etc. from me recently, I'll try and see what I can find that you haven't seen lately.
Hogwarts in a Bottle by Cute Patterns by Maria
stitched 2 over 2 on 28 ct sparkly fabric that I think was a gift?
I managed to fit 100 stitches in for this one on a challenge last week, and hope to get a lot more done this year. You can also put Maria Brovko's patterns in Pattern Keeper with a little PDF manipulation, so that makes it a lot easier for me.
Do Not Meddle
stitched 1 over 1 on 28ct white evenweave with called for DMC
This is something I'm stitching for someone who can't stitch much any longer and I've had it for years now, so would really like to get it finished for her this year.
Sleigh Ride by Mill Hill
stitched as charted, 3 over 1 on perforated paper and starting on the beads.
I always do full crosses on beads even when they call for 1/2. I like the extra security it seems to bring, plus it can make the beads stay in place better, at least it seems so to me. What do you all like to do? This will be a gift for Xmas this year if I can get it finished.
Mini Faery Tales by HAED
stitched 2 over 1 on 18ct beige aida as charted in DMC
I'm hopeful to get this done within a couple years and have it hanging in DD's room if she likes it. We read some fairy tales, and I really loved fairy tales when I was younger, so maybe she will too.
Happy Stitching!
