Gentle friends, over the weekend - when I wasn't running around, cleaning something or cooking something.... I felt the need to start a new stitching piece. I haven't a clue as to why I wanted to start something else, I have two piece in the works for upcoming Exchanges - and really should focus, but the needle leads where the needles leads..........
"January Cat" - 36ct BoaF "Sandpiper" - using my WDW Conversion
... it's a bit on the wonky side as I took this with it still in the q-snaps. This is the first in the series of Monthly Animals by Nickyscreations. When I first saw one of them I was drawn to these cute things - so prim and proper for each month. She has released 11 of the 12 animals and I am stitching them not as individual pyn pillows, but as a single largish sampler. I have also converted the called for DMC floss choices and shifted them all to WDW's floss so there is a little more colour interest. This first square is called "January Cat." The lovely piece of linen is a 36ct Birds of a Feather "Sandpiper" - from the first incarnation of BoaF - I found it on eBay and have been saving it for something special.

Oh I'm looking forward to seeing this series stitched up. I've wanted to buy them, but I haven't yet. I should just buy one every month. Good idea, right? Nice start!
ReplyDeleteOh I so miss the BOF linen--it was just the best. I have a couple of Nicky's monthly animals in my stash waiting on me to start. Nice idea to stitch them all together
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cute chart. Enjoy your stitching.
ReplyDeleteA good start. I am looking forward to seeing more of the design!
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is always so nice; can't wait to see this piece evolve. Wishing you and Rico a wonderful Thanksgiving.
