Autumn Begins

And so Summer must end. Therefore, it is quite fitting that I finished up my latest project on the first day of Autumn.

Summer Basket

Loose Feathers #38

by Blackbird Designs

Stitched one over two on 40ct Cupid's Blush by R&R Reproductions

Here are a few more views. I had to stitch the "X", "Y" and "Z" one over one. I also had to stitch my "H" that way as well. I used a half stitch since a full 'x' was way too bulky. The second picture is closest to the color of the fabric in real life. Just imagine it a little paler and you have it!

Now that I have finished this one, I should be able to start LHN's "Traveling Stitcher". I am lucky enough to be friends with a fabulous woman who gave me the stitching pocket to go along with the pattern. So, I'll be stitching it using the called for threads. Hopefully I'll be able to put needle to fabric tonight.

Speaking of LHN, I'm going to cave since Market is only a couple of days away. I know the pattern for LHN's Fairytale Series is up on her site, so I'm going to take the leap and show you the unframed models. I hope to have pictures of them in their frames after the weekend.

They aren't the best pictures, but they will give you an idea of what they will look like when stitched. For these models we used 30ct Tin Roof by Weeks Dye Works and used one strand of Belle Soie.

I would like to take a minute out and thank all of my readers. I love getting your comments! I would also like to thank each and every one of you. Through you I have connected to so many other great blogs.

Thanks again and Happy Stitching!
