Autumn Quakers by Rosewood Manor.
Fabric - Zweigart 40ct Newcastle in Country Mocha.
Called for Valdani floss.
It was supposed to be stitched on 28 ct using 3 strands of the floss.
After several trials I came up with 1.5 over 2 idea. I was stitching with one strand but doing the second leg of the cross twice. Although this took me longer to stitch I loved the process and the result. Beautiful colours and beautiful design.
17 September - 10 November 2017. Stitching almost every day.
Fudgy Mint Mousse by Glendon Place.
Fabric - 32 ct Limestone evenweave by Zweigart using called for Dinky Dyes silks including the one specially dyed for this project (the variegated one).
No matter how hard I tried haven't managed to catch greenish colour of the fabric.
30 May - 23 November 2017 (35 stitching days).
Those two are the last big ones this year, there will be a couple of ornaments in December and a lot of plans for the next year.
The colors on Autumn Quakers turned out so vivid. Simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFudgy Mint Mousse is my favorite. I loved watching this one come along on Instagram.
Both turned out just perfect.
You took my breath away!!!! I am in complete awe.
ReplyDeleteTo finish either of these in a year is an accomplishment, but to finish both? Wow! Good job figuring out a solution for your autumn piece. Can’t wait to see what you have planned for next year!
