Cirque des Cercles finished Mar-11

Post by alinna »

This was my vacation project but I forgot my Q-Snaps so very little got done. Picked it up again tonight, here's how it looks so far!

Image

I am using a 28ct white opalescent fabric, stitching 2 over 2, and using Caribbean Laney from Carrie's Creations.

Interesting, I'd love to stitch on that fabric, and the colour mix is funny.

It's lovely! :applesauce: I assume it's varigated thread? Do you have to be very careful to watch how the colours line up (they all seem to flow into one another beautifully!)

my browser shows only a broken image link. i assume it is supposed to show your fabric choice.

i can't wait to see your progress. i would like to do all 3 cirque designs and the blackstone path one. sometimes i just sit and drool over her website...can't actually afford the time or money for one right now!
