I have so many things to catch up on but I thought I would start with my first major finish of 2015. I started this piece January 1st 2013. There were many times I worked on it steadily and then set it aside for another project. As many of you know we have had LOTS of snow which means lots of stitching time for me. It is stitched on 40ct Lakesides Linen and Vikki Clayton Hand Dyed Fiber silks. In hind sight I would have preferred working with NPI silks. I opted for the less expensive and I can honestly say you get what you pay for. HDF fibers are more slippery so you have to have patience when stitching with them. They didn't fray at all but where staticky so they clung and twisted. Also they are thinner and don't cover quite as nice. I hope to start Autumn at Hawk Run later this year but need to save up for NPI.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope to be back soon with more. Happy Stitching!
