Some slow stitching may happen today. Kathy’s Quilts: Slow Sunday Stitching is the place to stop by and visit others stitching today!
I’m still working in small chunks of time on this cute wool pumpkin.
October x it looked like this. Today, there has been some progress. The fusible I used, was too heavy. It’s difficult pushing the needle through the 3 layers of wool that make up the windows. But they are almost done.
Today: 
And I’ve hit a snag on my Equality Sampler. The called for fabric I’d 36 count linen. Stitched 1 over 2. I did want to purchase new fabric, I have a stash. So I coffee/tea dyed a piece of ivory 18 count Aida. It worked well, until it came to the lettering. It’s stitched 1 over 1! On linen, doable! On Aida, not so much. I haven’t kept track of my time, but it’s been lots of hours! So do I stop, purchase some linen and begin again? Or go forward and try to figure out a different way to stitch the lettering? I’m undecided!
Your little pumpkin house is so cute! Keep going! Someday I'm going to have to sit down with another cross-stitcher so I can see what is meant by stitching 1 over 1, etc. I've only stitched on Aida, so no experience with linen. Hope you don't have to start the sampler over!
ReplyDeleteYour pumpkin is adorable! I have no idea what "1 over 1" means, but I hope you can figure it out. It looks beautiful so far.
ReplyDeleteYour wool pumpkin is coming along nicely! Peter Pumpkin Eater's home, maybe? I don't know what to say about your cross stitch. But you're the boss of it, and I'm sure you have an inclination of what to do.
