Gentle Friends thanks for stopping by and for the great comments on Monday's post!! Sorry to miss a post yesterday but I was catching up on emails and they just took a bit more time to answer than I had expected.
___________
This morning I wanted to show the two most recent things (excluding my exchange piece) that I have been stitching on.... first up has to be ATS... still working on the different bits in the sixth section....
If you look closely you can see the I have run a single thread along the sides so that I can make sure I stay within the narrow confines of the stitch. For some reason it has worried me, so to put my mind at rest I got some orange thread and just put them in. I'll pull them out later.
The other piece is the last Cottage on the year long SAL - I got my December chart a few days ago and thought about any changes I wanted to make. The only Major change was to switch "Swiss Chocolate" for "Brandied Pears"... and why you may ask did I do that... basically I had no "Swiss Chocolate" floss in my stash - and BP is very close to the DMC conversion so I just went with it. I was also going to change "Spinach" for "English Ivy" but after stitching some with EI I found that floss to be just too dark so I frogged it out and went back to the recommended "Spinach".... here is the little bit I have done...
I love the "Ribbon Red" and will probable stick to the hand full of DMC "browns" - This last part should be finished up in a day or two.
That's about it for today. I'll not be posting tomorrow as I am taking a 1/2 day - but I'll be back on Monday. Thanks again for stopping by and for your comments!! Do stop again!
Take care,
edgar
As always beautiful stitching. Will you and Edgar be hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year? I ask because I love your recipes and hope you share more. My DH always says THANKS EDGAR when I bake him something you featured. lol

ReplyDeleteGreat progress on ATS! I am always amazed when I see that piece stitched. I know it's just one cross after another but there are a *lot* of crosses!! Nice start on December. I agree "Ribbon Red" is a great color. Looking forward to seeing your finish.
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be a stunning finish! Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteRunning the thread along the edge is an excellent idea. I might borrow that one!
