Seedy Pumpkin Cottage WIP


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?



 Look at this embellishment pack!




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

  1. I have always admired Praiseworthy Stitches patterns but never stitched one. They are big but it is looking amazing already. What a wonderful surprise to not only to win the chart but the fabric and embellishment pack.
