New project Flute Player *UPDATE 14 AUGUST*

Post by janny »

Hello fellow forum members I have not posted any of my stitching for quite a while. I have been actively viewing everyone's beautiful work and decided it was time to start posting again. I have completed quite a few pieces since last I was here and have added them in my gallery if you are interested.
However today I have started a new piece from Design Works named the Flute Player. I am stitching it on 32ct sparkly hand dyed fabric in pale green/yellow which I picked up from the last Craft Fair in Brisbane. (Here's hoping it is the right choice).
Here is a picture of how it will look and one of the fabric and threads (fabric does not have checks just the way it photographed) has a few beads as well. Sorry photos are so big can't seem to get them right

Lovely gallery! The new pattern looks very pretty and I think it will look great on that piece of cloth.

Have made good progress with this one. Chart is a bit of a nightmare though, backstitch lines cover a lot of the stitches.

:applesauce: Lovely start. The colors are so pretty. It's a shame that the chart is hard to read. I've had a few like that and all you can do is stitch what makes sense.
I will be looking for your next update on this pretty design.

What a beautiful start! :) I have been noticing a similar issue in a few spots with my chart for "Grace". It's also put out by design works. It's a little annoying, but I'm usually able to suss out what is meant to go there.

Isn't it irritating when the design doesn't have a separate chart for back stitch! :doh:

BUT you're making good progress and it all looks lovely! :applesauce:
