Good evening my fine friends. I'm so happy you stopped by to see what I have been up to. First off I finished another one of Erica Michaels Berries. These could very well become an addiction to me. I stitched it on a 32ct evenweave using Sulky #12 weight cotton. I wasn't sure how to finish this one off at the top so I cut a piece of wool felt for the leaves and used a large wooden button and a matching DMC for the twisted braid. It's not the greatest but I like it. Also instead of stitching the bees I used JABCO bee buttons.
I received an email from Jardin Prive about her newest SAL and I started it this morning. I'm using a Sulky 12wt. Blendable cotton thread on 28ct. Waterlily Jobelan. She's releasing a part each week and you can find it HERE.
Not much going on here except waiting for some colder weather to arrive. I just know I'll be going Christmas shopping in shorts.....again.
I hope everyone has a great week with lots of fun with family and friends.
Blessings, Barbara

You have stitched another beautiful strawberry! That SAL sounds like fun. I have never used that floss but will check out the site!
ReplyDeleteBarbara, your strawberry is adorable. Well done! You are off to a good start on the Jardin Prive SAL. I like the thread color you are using for it. How do you like stitching with the Sulky thread?
