However, this time, I actually won something. You'll recall a few posts back, I posted about Mel's giveaway at Epic Stitching. Well, I won it. An HAED. I've never stitched an HAED. So, I went shopping yesterday. I was originally after one of the House Mouse designs but my husband didn't like them and his opinion does count because if I'm going to work this hard on a piece, I will want to hang it on the wall and we jointly decorate the house. So, I decided on this piece instead:
It's more appropriate to our decor anyway. The only issue is I don't think I have any fabric that big. Not a big deal because with graduate school looming, I don't see much stitching in the near future.
Oh wow! Congrats! What size fabric does it need? Looks like a big project..maybe stitch one strand a day with school LOL
ReplyDeleteIt says it's 16x20 on 25 count. I'm thinking Jobelin or Lugana. An appropriate sized piece is about $12 on 123stitch and abc stitch. Can't afford it now but by the time I'm ready to stitch it, it shouldn't be hard to get fabric.
DeleteIt looks beautiful, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What a beautiful design you chose. I would suggest finding a colored fabric or hand-dying it yourself so you don't have to stitch all the background!
ReplyDeleteI don't trust myself to hand dye it. I wonder if Picture This Plus does anything in 25 or 28 count. Otherwise, I might do the background in half crosses and the main part of the cross in full. I have awhile to think about it since I can't afford the fabric for it right now anyway.
