Good Morning all!
Last Thursday I was packing up to go spend part of the day with some like-minded stitchy friends. My current slow stitch project, One Kind Word, was almost done. Back to that in a minute.
So I rummaged through my treasure chest for some cross stitch fabric to see if there was inspiration there. I found two still packaged bread cloths, cream and dark green. And then this!
Look a dark green bread cloth on the cover. This magazine is dated 1991! Holy Cow! I’m a hoarder!
So that is what I started and will work on today.
I think I should go find my Christmas needle minder! Extra light is needed for stitching on such dark fabric.
Ok, back to One Kind Word. I didn’t completely finish, because I got stuck on what color should the flower be? White with a yellow center (shasta daisy) yellow with a brown center (sunflower) or something else. A friend suggested bringing the pink from the wording back up to the top. So a pink or purple flower?
What do you think?
I’m linking up with Kathy today for Slow Sunday Stitching.
What a wonderful sentiment on your embroidery project. I may have a book/pattern or two from the 90’s in my sewing room too. Gail at the Cozy Quilter.
ReplyDeleteI love the earlier Just Cross Stitch magazines. Your bread cloth is going to be gorgeous, Judy. Fabulous embroidery too. I look forward to seeing what color you choose for the flower. I'm not sure what colors I would choose. Happy stitching.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you're a hoarder, Judy - just saving that magazine for the right moment! That will make a pretty bread cloth. After showing some of my recent cross-stitch finishes to my quilt group the other day, a friend offered me her unfinished project that is done on black cloth - I had to say no to that one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bread cloth!
ReplyDeleteI have crafting magazines older than 1991! I have been going through them lately to see if there is anything I really think I will ever make. I love that you are making that bread cloth. It will be very pretty. I would go to the pink or purple flower.
ReplyDeleteObviously the magazine was saved for a reason. I have some of those in my collection too. They are "someday" projects, and I just can't part with them. Isn't it sad that I've never heard of a needle minder? What a concept - lol! I lose my needle every single time I do needlework. My husband has to help me find it. I must get one!
