Another gem I unearthed. Pattern & over-dye floss, sitting in the bag since ... well, since I bought it : ) I've seen this one stitched up & wondered how it would look with the lettering in a different color. I changed the dk green overdye suggested for the lettering & tried WDW Dolphin. It is a nice shade of grey/blue.
Soweth Sampler 81 x 81 c.Birds of a Feather. I'm using Week's Dye Works on 29-count natural glenshee linen.
This is more about counting & spacing ... than stitching! Should look nice once I get the lettering finished & start the vines, leaves & flowers.
Enjoy your week-end.
It should look lovely when done. Glad you had such fun and found such nice projects when you were going through your stash. The pulled thread Teacup one was beautiful as well.

Oh, a beauty!!
ReplyDeleteGreat start - I love your colour change! This is a lovely design :)
ReplyDeleteSome BOAF patterns are like that - more counting than stitching. Ask me how many times I've tried to get Counting Magpies in the right places! LOL
ReplyDeleteI think your spot on with the color change :) Your finding some great stuff! Can I come over and help rummage through your stuff?
ReplyDeleteLOL!
I stitched this one a few years ago... it's a fun stitch and very pretty done :) You have a nice start there!
ReplyDeletenoting like finding some staxh to stitch that hasnt been touched, probably why i could very well end up a serial starter lol.
ReplyDeletecant wait to see the progress
that's so pretty ... I've never seen that design before
ReplyDeleteYour off to a nice start on this one! I like the color change.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for the colour change. It's lovely when a colour swap not only works but actually enhances the piece as well - lovely stuff as usual Lelia :) x
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I like the color you've chosen.
