I'm stitching it on 32 ct. Vintage Light Examplar linen. I switched out the CC Secondhand Rose for GAST Victorian Pink. It matched the darker pink a little better. I'm hoping I have enough because I got another skien at my LNS today and it doesn't match the one I have very well.
Another little thing I got at my LNS today...
Bunny Thread Holders - Aren't they cute?? :)
I also got an order from Handcrafts Online today...
CCN "Bless Our Home," My Mark "Sunshine & Shade," and LHN "Needlebook and Fob" and "Blackbird Inn."
And a small order from Elegant Stitch yesterday...
Shepherd's Bush "Quaker Heart" and 40 ct. Fawn Linen.
I also decided to tea-dye some Belfast linen I got at Michaels 50% off. I think it turned out ok!
Here it is with the threads for "Colonial Dry Goods." I was also thinking of using it for "Counting House."

The color sort of reminds me of Vintage Examplar or Sand Belfast. Not much else going on - I'm hoping to get some more stitching done! Write later! :)
So much fun new stuff for you! And I love your new start!!
ReplyDeleteNicole, could you please tell me any information that you might have on the bunny thread holders that you bought today? My aunt stitches and she loves anything to do with bunnies. Perhaps we could swap email address, because I have tons of stitch related questions to ask you.

Nicole: I noticed the thread drops you use to kit up your projects & knew they would be perfect for the perle cottons I was using.
ReplyDeleteI bought some of the bunny thread drops @LNS. I really like them!! I am starting out with three pkg. No more 'bends' in fibers!! YAY.
I saw the flip-flop ones & the original pkg, too.
Luv your blog & all your stitching : )
