Just some rambling.
I have heard of many people who don't like certain types of stitching. I have types of stitching I do not find appealing to me, TO STITCH. However, when looking at others projects, I can find the beauty in it and the skill it took to stitch it. As Needle Artisans I do believe we should all be able to do that, even it is not our cup of tea. And I do believe that we all do, for the most part.
I am still working on Goldenwood by Ruth Sanderson (Heaven and Earth Designs). I love working with the warm Autumn colors...earth tones. It is very peaceful and relaxing. The finished product will be awesome. I am going to use the (approx. 15" X 29") piece in a quilt. I will have my mother use it as a center and make me something lovely for my bed. I am doing it on 28ct Jobelan, 2 over 2.
I love doing Table Toppers too. Rico has some lovely fabric and designs. I am doing a Dandelion design. I am about half way finished. I am not fond of the Dandelions but my mom is. I am doing it for her. I really should get back to it. I am in the mood to work with fine fibers, not 4 strands of floss in a fat needle. It would be a satisfying finish though.
I hate backstitching. I know it makes the details on a project become more vivid. I have procrastinated on two projects because of it. I am done but still must backstitch. Those would really not take too long either. Fortunate Traveller by Teresa Wentzler and Tulip Time by Marty Bell/Pegasus Originals. (Sigh) I love them but I must get up the gumption to backstitch.
I took a lloooooonnnnnggggggg walk through Wyndham Samplers today. I am dead in the water. I am now a Sampler Junkie. I only want a mere couple hundred new charts! Well, it gives me something to shoot for. But I want so many, I am getting confused. When I get confused I do not purchase anything. I then settle into my stitching and give it hell. My hat is off to all the designers. You create such fantastic projects for us. Thank you all!
I am also working on a lovely Hardanger Table Topper by Lorri Birmingham. It is done on 28ct Jobelan. I am doing it on beige with ecru perles. There is also some embroidery in the center. I have not chosen my colors yet. We will see. It is actually called Pretty in Pink....original done on Baby Lotion Pink, 28ct Jobelan with white threads. It is very intricate and detailed. There is a tremendous amount of stitching and cutting on this one. And just about every Hardanger Specialty stitch is being used. It is something to see. (Not my stitching, just the project itself)
Oh how I wish I could win the lottery and stitch all day...purchase all the charts, fabric and threads I want....build a stitching room.....(sigh).....can you tell what I'd do without about $50,000.00 of that money? Shopping Spree! Furniture, stitching stuff, renovation of the house! That is what I would do...RIGHT OFF THE TOP!
Well, enough for today. You all be careful out there!
