Trylla's 2013 Projects - May 5 Update

[vanessanjf]

Such beautiful projects You are making wonderful progress

[Mrs Milkybar Kid]

I adore everything about your Ink Circles project Trylla and can't wait for the finish! I've got Sunflower Bee in my stash, so look forward to seeing your progress on that one too. I agree about trialing tent stitching - even if just to discount it, otherwise you will always wonder! I did that and never looked back and now tent my HAEDs when working on 28ct.

The first project is amazing!!!!! I love the color scheme.. Simply beautiful!!!

*sigh*

I got talked into trying something new, and of course I fell in LOVE with it. I'm in so much trouble.

My very first counted canvas project is Birds of a Feather by Nancy's Needles:



The pretties:



My start:

I love your Ink Circles design it is beautiful.
I follow the blog of a lady who does a lot of quilting style designs and I am hoping to try it myself sometime, your project is definitely one for me to watch..it is very pretty.

Gorgeous start! The design and the colors and the stitches are so pretty. I can see where this would be addictive. But so much fun! Looking forward to your updates.

Love your canvas work Trylla - it has always been something I would love to try myself as I love the threads and stitches used, but have too much cross stitch to do!

[karen4bells]

Beautiful. Both pieces. The plastic canvas piece is stunning.

Carole

I really agree with Carole--both are just amazing pieces!! I love the canvas piece and I absolutely love the fabric you are using for Rules of Life

[natural_isis]

All your pieces are so lovely! The counted canvas piece is especially striking. Can't wait to see more.

[imogenX]

Both are gorgeous - I love your fabric for Rules of Life, too. It looks great with white text.

Love the canvas work. In fact I can see myself branching out into this type of stitching. It could be my attempt at something different and new as I have ruled out hardangar. I think I have some research and thinking to do!!

I finished Cirque des Carreaux by Ink Circles. Stitched 1 over 1 on 25 ct Night Fall lugana by Sassy's Fabby's using Carrie's Creations silk in Epiphany.



One of the skeins was from a different dye lot (my fault) and I can totally see it. And so, I am not happy with this finish. Maybe in a few months I'll have the heart to rip out 1/3 of it and restitch with the right silk. (Thankfully I still have almost 3 skeins from the right dye lot left over.)
