This is quite a fun and an easy going design. I am stitching this grand piece on Platinum Cashel with DMC threads. I think it's gonna take some time :)
Noticed I ommitted the year...rather be safe than sorry ;)
Comment Notes: Thank you all for the lovely comments on my pinkeep. I'm beaming :) Yes the backing fabric was perfect, my sincere thanks to Margaret, who gave me both the linen and the backing fabric. As the parable goes...when given your lot...make full use of it! Luigi, please leave your email address in the comment section and I will email you. I will delete your email promptly after receipt. Also a big thank you to new visitors/commentors to my blog. I appreciate you taking the time.
Hey, may I ask what size fabric shd I get for the Game Board? Are you staying true to the colors specified in the chart? Yah yah, I bought the chart from Jean! What did I get myself into? LOL
ReplyDeleteI really like the game board!!! I may have to stitch one...someday :)
ReplyDeleteIt's looking lovely so far, Barbara :)
ReplyDeleteYou're off to a great start!
ReplyDeleteUhh Gameboard. tempting. cute houses.niceee
ReplyDeleteermm whats the different between CASHEL LINEN and PLATINUM CASHEL LINEN? Havent got that one yet so ermmm .
Happy Stitching
I did notice that you had left off the year and was actually giggling about that before I read your comment about it. It looks great ;)
ReplyDeleteOoooh that is a great design - looks fab. Great pinkeep too. xx
ReplyDeleteI had hesitated to stitch the animals and flowers in the other sense like you. Finally, I decided to stay with the design but I think your way is fine!
ReplyDeleteI have done abc and four squares on four. It's a drug!
Be very careful while stitching: there are many mistakes in the chart. For instance: in the square close to the squirrel, you're not supposed to stitch a blue tree... Shortly said: check the pic often...
HUgs!
