I'd rather be stitchin': A New Year, New Start

A New Year, New Start

Happy New Year Everyone!

I’m kicking off 2023 by joining in with a stitch-a-long that is being hosted by Teresa Little Stitcher, over on Floss Tube.

She had been doing some ‘live’ chats on Sunday evenings and a few weeks back a suggestion was made to start a Sal, where we stitch “Fancy Ladies” or Men, Mermaids, Mermen, or something along that line, you get the idea!

Then there was a poll to come up with a # and by unanimous decision we settled on #teresamademedoit. Very apt, don’t you think?

I decided to stitch something for a second time, Celtic Autumn, from Lavender and Lace.

I first stitched her back in 2014, staying faithful to the

called for colours, but I’ve always wanted to re do her with the autumn colour conversion. I also made a mistake and stitched her on 32ct fabric, instead of 28ct, like the rest of them.

So when Teresa suggested the Sal, I saw it as the perfect opportunity to re stitch her and purchased a kit, although I changed the fabric from Aida to Cashel Evenweave.
