Gentle Friends, Still plugging away on Beatitudes... I took this snap Friday evening and was going to post it over the weekend... but things got away from me... you know the naps and things! So here I am Monday morning and although not exactly where I was Friday evening on the piece, as you can see I am making some headway with the words...
and talking about the wording. The called for floss is CC Hickory Sticks, and I have burned through most all I had... I still have one skein but I knew before I started the top wording I wouldn't have enough to finish it out so I tried to get more. With things the way they are I was unable to find more anywhere or in any shop I called or try to order from... so I headed to the pile o'stash and found a really good match... WDW Swamp Water, I like it a bit better. The floss has a nicer feel and I can't see there is much difference in the overdyed coloring... lucked out on that one for sure!! ... as I move towards the finish I am thinking ahead and think have I've landed on my next project.....

Good Thoughts! Good Words! Good Deeds!

You were very lucky Edgar! This is a bad time to run short of anything. However, the project is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I know you stitch quickly, but it would be a while before I was thinking about what is next. I love watching the progress of your stitching. I am looking forward to seeing this finish and then what is next.
ReplyDeleteI beg to differ: That's more than a "little" stitchin' LOL. Speed Demon!!! And, yes...you did luck out! On my mermaid, I ran out of the overdyed color called for and ordered a dozen skeins or more from different places...none (nor anything else I tried) came close to matching....so, it is what it is. ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteWhat luck that you found a substitution in your stash. Beatitudes is looking good.
ReplyDeleteLucky indeed on the thread. Who ever would have thought that it would become difficult to find floss? Not me. This is a lovely piece.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are so quick!! Between my two monthly TUSAL posts, you have a finish and are almost done with your next. Lovely piece
