The middle of "Miss Kitty's Dragons" is now complete! I have moved on to the corners now. The opposite corners are actually the same,which should make things go fairly quickly. Sorry this photo is slightly dark, but you will get the idea. The bottom left row of leaf stitches took three tries before I got it right. I was a thread off, which had I left it no one would have noticed I'm sure, but I want to make this as perfect as possible. And they are fast to stitch up. Now they are correctly done. Even though so many little color changes within borders and flowers can be somewhat tedious, they turn out very nicely when they are done! I may just have to pull out the finishing instructions soon and start studying them...
Today I received this piece of linen in the mail from Chelle who very kindly shared some of her Belfast linen in the lovely color of "Cognac" with me! I plan on stitching this little witchy for Halloween, and it called for a linen color that is no longer made. I thought I would have to settle for a substitute that I was not entirely happy with, but Chelle had it in her stash. Thank heavens for stash, eh! The photo is again a tad bit darker than in reality--I think this color is going to do quite nicely for this design! I would even like to finish it into a pillow similar to the chart photo complete with the gingham fabric! We'll see how it goes. How many projects is that now that I am ready to start....?
