I'm sorry to hear you have to start over.. that's no good. I hope the silks work out better for you.

Sorry about the hiccup -- but the silks are likely to be so much better to work with than the satins!

Ok! I'm back on track. Well, with Bramble & Rose at least. I am so, so happy that I started over. This looks much better.



Little closer look:


I'm using Victoria Clayton's Dark Wisteria silk variegated premium threads.

I discovered a lovely local cross stitch store, and I, of course, ended up buying stuff. I got 2 more Ink Circles patterns. While I was waiting for threads to show up, I started Rosetta. It will basically look like this:



First progress pic:



I'm stitching it 1 over 1 on 28 count linen, and using Carrie's Creation jelly fish silk floss.

Those threads are so pretty with those designs. I just love them. Its going to be hard to give those as gifts when your done, they are so amazing. Can't wait to watch your progress on these.

both of these are looking very very pretty!! Great starts on them!!

Those are awssome varigated colors!!!!!!

Both are very beautiful! I'm glad you're happy you started over.

That jellyfish thread is cool!

Great start and restart!!

Both of these are beautiful and those threads are amazing. I didn't know there were so many different makes of threads. will have to watch myself or I will overspend big time.

Great stitching and great choices of threads and fabric

Lovely designs and gorgeous threads. I the Dark Wisteria Silk

Great restart! Love the HDF you've chosen for Bramble and the Rose - must be sooooooo much nicer stitching with that than the satins! That Jelly Fish thread is somthing else - gorgeous colours! Look forward to seeing your progress on your Ink Circles designs (one day I might get around to starting one myself!)

LOVE that Jelly Fish thread!!!

Ink Circles patterns are fun aren't they!

Absolutely gorgeous stitching. the thread choices

Great starts. Lovely colours you've chosen.

Lovely work!!

Wow.. I love the vibrant colors in the second one.. That is going to be sooooo cool! Great work so far!

Yes! I absolutely love them! And I love working with variegated threads.

Normally I would have went with a more subtle color on Rosetta, but I decided to go bright and bold. I'm doing that one for my brother, who's gay, so it works out well.

Thanks for all the lovely comments!

Lovely stitching, I love the jelly fish thread can't wait to see more updates on these
