I completed the winter monochromatic piece this afternoon. I stitched it on 28 count just like the others, but this was a very loose weave. I don't remember the exact kind but a country French blue is the color. The thread was Classic Colorworks Vanilla Pudding.
This was the fourth of four of these. I will fully finish it just like the other ones into a small corded pillow. I really love all of them. I will share them all again together when I get the pillow made. I will say that this one was the hardest to stitch because of the loose weave. I had such a difficult time getting it as neat as I would have liked. I love the color though which makes up for my poor stitching on it.
I took two pictures and neither is too good in the late afternoon light, but you get the idea.
These are from Little House Needleworks and the titles were the same as the season. They were to be stitched on 32 count but I chose 28 count as I wanted them to be a bit larger.
How pretty! I love that soft blue too! And snowmen....well not real ones! heehee! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLovely, and the difficulties you had with the softer fabric -- I can't see any of that.
ReplyDeleteI think this one is my favorite Sandy!! Love Jeff's sunset picture too. We all need to pause more and take in the beauty around us.
ReplyDeleteYour Winter monochrome looks super. I like the thread and fabric combination.
ReplyDeleteYour Winter monochrome looks great.
ReplyDeleteCountry French blue is one of my favorite colors. This is such a lovely, soft color combo and pretty stitch.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Sandy. Love the soft blue. I honestly don't see myself stitching on 28-count ever, but your work is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty finish--I still need to stitch this one myself! I've stitched Autumn, but can't find a fabric I like to finish off the back. May have to postpone it for yet another year :)
ReplyDeleteOh that is such a pretty stitch Sandy. I love stitching in one color and the French blue linen is so beautiful. RJ
ReplyDeleteI love the winter scene, beautifully done, and the choice of snowy white for the thread is perfect.
