Okay. Here is my wee little start on my May snapper. Maybe if I post a few photos of my works in progress I will get more motivated to get some things finished! These are not too large, so really they should not take all that long to stitch. I am finding that the more I work with Lambswool fabric, which is definitely on the stiff side, it is hard to work on softer, more "floppy" fabric. My snappers are on one large cut of Country French Cafe Mocha linen, which is not at all stiff. And it is long, so there is all that extra fabric to contend with.
I have also discovered that the border was meant to be stitched in Bark, and I am stitching it all (vine included) in Dried Thyme. I suppose it doesn't really matter as it is for me, and I can do whatever I like. I do like how it looks in one long row (though I have seen some other lovely variations with the squares in multiple rows, etc), but I haven't a clue how I will ever finish this one. I can just imagine how much it would cost to frame it. But imagine a long, long cushion! Any ideas are welcome. Maybe I can get in a few stitches on it tonight. My goad is to get May, June and July caught up by the end of the month. Now, I need to get going on my other monthly project....my Chatelaine Sampler Mystery I....
