A snowy start to the day turned into a beautifully sunny Sunday yesterday, and I was able to spend a couple of hours stitching. Since the light was so good, I decided to take the plunge and I started on the white. It was still awfully difficult to stitch, so I ended up stitching the colors around it (mostly very pale blue) and then simply filling in the white. Before I tackled all that, though, I stitched more of the blue in the top portion. I'd guess I'm about a third done with the first of the four pages of pattern. It's a good start. Here's a picture of how much I've done so far.
Really nice stitching. Love the blue.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty colors. Remember, it takes a lot of stitches, one at a time, to add up to the pretty result in the end. Every single stitch counts! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a very pretty start...I hate stitching white. It is always harder to see and the threads never seem to lay as nicely as the colored threads. The only thing that I can say about stitching the white is, "Hang in there...stitch slowly and try not to get frustrated.
ReplyDeleteThose blues and purples are just stunning. I can't wait to see it grow.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors
