I'm so happy with it all around. I actually tested all the colors on a scrap of the fabric before starting to stitch (unheard of for me) and I think that really helped, as I'm really happy with that aspect as well (though the blue is a bit bright in certain lights/pictures.
Anyway, the pattern is now up in my Etsy shop.
Currently working on a Christmas present that I can't post here, but I've also got a small free embroidery piece going that I should be posting soon. I'm intending to restitch my Roman mosaic too, now that I own all the DMC colors.
I've started using software to convert some of my patterns into all symbols versions, since I know a lot of people prefer that. They're so hard for me to read myself though. When you've got a lot of colors obviously that's the best option, likewise if you've got limited printer ink, but for a simple pattern I think colored squares are so much easier to read. Of course I can't use printed out patterns at all since I'm pretty well lying down when I stitch.
Tomorrow I'll have a post about this year's Quilt National exhibit at the Dairy Barn. It's an especially incredible group this year, with loads of embroidery incorporated.
I have started working on a Christmas project too...it always feels weird doing it while its still technically summer but I know if I don't start now I will end up putting it off and then rushing come December.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the earlier the better for sure! This is the first piece I'm actually trying to hide from the recipient. Usually I just stitch my thing and mark them off as a gift after the person expresses interest. I'm sure I'll slip up and leaving it lying around by accident at some point though.
DeleteWill you make that chart available again on etsy (it's not there right now...)? I just love it and have to have it!!
ReplyDeleteYou must have just caught it between someone buying it and me renewing it. It's there now:

If it's not there when you look it should be back soon!
Did you know this pattern is in Pokemon Sun and Moon? Because I wouldn't want them taking it from you without your approval.
ReplyDeleteSomeone just messaged me about this on Etsy. I definitely didn't give my approval. If anyone can take a screenshot for me I'd really appreciate it.
DeleteI think the photo going around is edited. I just went into the game and it wasn't there
