Hi there,
I have another new WIP this summer. This is odd for me as normally I don't like to start things--believe it or not.
Last year I was fortunate enough to win a giveaway on Brian's you tube channel. Brian does amazing work and has a great Flosstube channel. It's always enjoyable to watch his videos.
So in his giveaway I won the Seedy Pumpkin Cottage pattern. It's designed by Praiseworthy Stitches.
Brian sent a package to me with the pattern, and he also included the fabric and embellishment pack for this large beauty! What a wonderful surprise it was, indeed. How generous is that? Thanks so much, Brian. I wanted to get it out and start it sooner, but I waited for the school year to end.
I was able to kit it up last month, and I also was able to start the piece as well. I am itching to return to it soon as I have since given some other projects a little bit of stitch time. More on those projects another time.
Below you will see the fabric, beads, pattern, and a better look at the embellishment pack that I WON. Stichers are so generous, aren't they? The fabric is a 32 count one from Picture this Plus, and the color is Echo.
I love the colors of the beads!
It's a big pattern, isn't it?
Here is my progress so far:
Here are the threads. I am using a combination of DMC and overdyed flosses. Aren't these colors wonderful?
I hope you too are enjoying a lot of stitching time this summer.
Thanks for stopping by today,
Sue
