Catherine Sheppard, 1810 by Scattered Seeds
I wanted to get some experience in with silks before I started a bigger project with them. I really enjoyed this project, although, as usual, I find that my sense of color and thus my conversion from DMC is a little off. I like it anyway. I used a piece of 36 count linen that I coffee dyed.
I learned that I need to really work on my cuticles before I start more silk projects. Yikes

Halfway through this project and I am enjoying it. I really like the blackbirds so I am gladl I did not change them to a different color....what WAS I thinking.
There is one isue with this....the fabric is so stiff that it tends to fray the DMC....so I went to a size 24 needles and that is helping. It is a 40 count Lambswool but am not sure of the manufacture or where I got it.
Thanks for stopping by to check out this quick update.
Stay safe
