Speedy Stitcher ~ Cross Stitch and Stuff: Floral Fifteen is finished!

Wednesday, 4 August 2010

Floral Fifteen is finished!

Here it is!

This is the other side.

I stitched Floral Fifteen using the recomended DMC floss on 28ct Zweigart Antique White and Mint Green Cashel linen. Each small square took just under an evening to stitch and the whole thing the best part of a day to put together. I enjoyed stitching this so much I'm tempted to start Merry Fifteen!

Over the weekend I stitched the August motif for the My Little Heart SAL. This time there was a choice of charts. I chose the sunflower.

I also managed to add some more stitches to Witches Riding By. I'm really pleased with how this one is turning out.

I'm off to choose a 'new start'. progress pictures next time and a photo of the new 'Happy Chair' as Spinster Stitcher would call it!
