A New WIP

Yesterday, I started a new project. The pattern had been completed for some time already, but I had a hard time getting to a craft store to buy all the floss colours. Yesterday, though, I finally got the final colour I needed, and I also grabbed some 18-count fabric.

I was told that the sparkly thread is atrocious to work with. I didn't listen. The entire border of this piece is going to be in E321, a sparkly red floss. Wish me luck. The plan is to complete the border first, and then proceed on to the central bits, which should be far easier.

This is going to be a gift to someone.

Day One (11-13-16)

I've made sure to leave plenty of space for when it comes time to frame it. At least, I'm hoping it's plenty.

Day one involved cutting the fabric to the correct size, stitching what you see here, and clearing off a table to use as my stitching station. I'm not exactly the neatest of people, so my home is rather... messy. Cleaning off that table is something I consider an accomplishment.

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll get back to work, and hopefully I'll be able to put up another progress picture tonight.
