Well I didn't get to update my blog last night. I was just too tired.
Firstly this is the very first progress picture of my Baroque Gardens which is an online SAL by Chatelaine. I then saw some progress pictures of it being stitched on black and what can I say but the heart was weak. Was probably one of those down days when stash shopping makes it all better for a nano second. Anyway, I promised myself that I would start it when we moved down here to Kirup. That would be my reward. Then I had to get the fabric and the rest of the materials. Money was not at a premium so that took a while. I seem to be stitching it in the afternoons at the kitchen table with a good light.
and here is the very first progress picture with just a tad under 1000 stitches done
Now for my Coat of Arms SAL. I really love how this sampler is starting to look. I am stitching it on what I think is a 40 count Summer Khaki Zweigart using 1 strand of Dinky Dyes Kayla's Rose.
It is a much more vivid colour (the thread) but I want to get stitching on my Baroque Garden for this afternoon. Tonight I am putting away my COA and will probably pick up Dorothy Preston.
