It was great to stitch along all year with you.... I hope this continues in 2017 as I'm planning to start a new full coverage next year- Winnie the Pooh II.

Love with a Capital L Happy Dance!
Friends, I am so pleased to announce Love is finished, and before my anniversary too! It's stitched 1 over 1 on 25 ct antique smoky white lugana with 3 colors of Gloriana silk floss- crimson, pumpkin, and copper.
Stitching the bottom section involved a lot of frogging! I kept messing up on the spacing. I even spot cleaned it, because I thought it looked dirty after all the handling / frogging. All the motifs in the bottom were charted by me, though I took inspiration from stuff I found online. The rose border and hearts with calla lilies: roses and callas were the main flowers at the my wedding. The candles because we had a candelit ceremony. The colors were my wedding colors. Cupids- why not?

ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to following you new project - that's one of the Thomas Kinkade Disney Dreams designs, right?
Thanks! Yes indeed, it's a Disney Dreams kit by MCG textiles.

ReplyDeleteI haven't stitched much on my project this year. We have had several stressful and time consuming things this year.
I hope we are settled down a bit next year and I hope the site stays going as well, as I will definitely post more of my progress.
Thank you! Life happens, stitching will always be there. I hope 2017 is a better stitchy year for you!
