This is the new project which is to replace the sunflowers, for me to do at work. I bought the kit off ebay a few weeks ago as I love dreamcatchers and have four hanging up in my flat and one tattooed on my back! So now I'm stitching one. Here's what the picture looks like.


And I couldn't resist starting a little bit. The fabric is great, a kind of mottly beige colour, almost like hay or something.

I love this design! You have started off very well too, I will look forward to seeing the finished result

I love dream catchers-I even learnt to make them years ago- Can't wait to watch this one, great start

*grabs the magic bench, some cookies and waits to see how this progresses* That's going to be beautiful, Sarah.

Sarah, is that fabric fiddlers cloth?

I don't know, TB, it just says 14 count Aida on the kit. I've never seen it before. The kit came from the US. The picture didn't really show the material very well, but it's beige with little flecks in it of darker beige and cream and it's much softer than normal Aida - not stiff at all, but it still stitches up nicely without a hoop or frame.

Looks wonderful is it a nice easy chart to follow?

Hi Nettie, yes it's a nice easy chart. There's not all that much stitching involved, just various feathers and things and then backstitch for the verse. This will be going to work with me on Monday for whenever I get a free half hour.

I envy you being able to stitch at work I'd love to I doubt my line manager would mind but her bosses would freak! Well I'm looking forward to more progress!

Nice! And a good start!

Which reminds me, I've had a Dreamcatcher kit in my stash for years! I WILL do it, one day!

Such a pretty kit. I love the way this one looks. Lots of colors and a beautiful pattern.

It looks like rustico aida -- it's certainly very effective with this design!

Fiddlers cloth is pretty stiff, so I guess it wont be that, but it's pretty anyhow and as Mabel says, perfect for your design.

Mmm, maybe it is rustico Aida then - it's certainly lovely to work with. I did some more today. It will be relegated to work only from tomorrow, but I was keen to do some this weekend as it's new and the colours are all so lovely! Here's the next update.

This is coming along great! I love the colors!

Wow! loads done already!!

Oh my, Sarah this is coming along great!!

This is a lovely design and you've made a great start!!!

Love this design, especially the saying and you've made a great start on it, nice one

The colors really are wonderful. I can see why you wanted to work on it.
