Today was a kitting up day for me. I had planned to start Vintage Birds by Jeanette Douglass this month, but decided to wait until April to join Stitching Mae's Birthday Stitch-a-long.
So, in the meantime, I put a few projects together:
Elizabeth Jones Sampler by La-D-Da.
I think there might be a SAL for this one, but I am not sure. I am a little torn on the fabric. It calls for 36 count Parchment and would require a 19 x 19 piece....those 18 x 27 fabrics I have on hand are my downfall! I am considering doing it on linen I already have but the only two pieces that are large enough are 32 count. It only makes it an inch large so I will probably do that. I have to choose between Country Mocha, Sandcastle or Cafe Mocha. At least all the threads are DMC colors that I already have.
Willow Tree Sampler by Carriage House Samplings;
This is also all DMC (hurray). It calls for 40 ct Antique Cotton linen from R&R but I am going to us 40 ct variegated lambswool that I have on hand (maybe). I'll do a floss toss tomorrow during the daylight and see if it will work.
So, that should get me through until April.
Thanks for stopping by. I will be posting a weekly update on current projects in a couple of days. It is a busy week this week with appointments so I may wait until the weekend.
More as it happens.
