For new start number 2 I decided to stay with the winter theme. This is my winter version of a bird I plan to stitch in four colourways to represent the four seasons. Spring and Summer were completed in 2017/2016 so I thought it was about time I stitched the other two!
I was only able to stitch on this piece on Saturday as most of Sunday (11am-11pm) was spent travelling. As much as I love trains, they are not a place I can stitch anything other than a hand-held small, so I made the most of Saturday stitching this and used Sunday to start the August birthstone a few days early.
Here's my Saturday progress then:
Stitched on 16ct Stormy Sea over-dyed aida by sewitall.com 2 over 1
using Threadworx 1140 Moonlit Skies
Stitching time to date - 4 hours
This only requires another 3 hours or so of work so will be a quick finish when picked it up again. But for the last three days of July I have to return to Hogwarts; it's been a bit neglected this month. Ooops!
Take care,

Pretty start Rachel.

Love the colour on this one and how you manage to make so many seasonal sets.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty start! Will you start the fall one soon as well?
ReplyDeleteOh I love the colors in this one. Great work!
ReplyDeleteNice work. That's a long train journey, Scotland and back or just delays on the line?
ReplyDeleteI used to do so much stitching on the train back in my commuting days. Two 40 minute journeys six days of the week is a lot of stitching time!
Somehow, I missed this one, so when I saw the Autumn Bird, I went looking for it. The colors are beautiful and really represent winter to me. Again, I hope you get the chance to finish it soon!
ReplyDeleteA pretty start. I do like some quick finishes mixed in with the big projects; it spurs me on to make more of a dent in the big project x
