Earlier this afternoon, I finished the stitching of the Needlework Accessories set by Country Garden Stitchery. I only had the pin pillow left with is the rectangle piece in the pic below.
Needlework Accessories
by
Country Garden Stitchery
28 ct natural linen
GAST & DMC
This was a fun quick stitch with bright summery colours. The linen I used was a cheap linen that I picked up at Michaels. As I was stitching I kept thinking that it reminded me of a burlap sack except a bit softer. After I got used to the texture of the linen it wasn't too bad to work with, however I would be cautious in using it for a larger design. For this set of smalls, the colour and texture seemed to go good together.
This is something else to be added to my finishing pile. I really need to get my sewing machine out and start tackling it. I'm sure I could make a pretty good dent in the pile with a couple of days work. If I had time, I would probably start on it now cause I seem to be in the right mood to do it. Alas, I go back to work tomorrow which means I won't have any time for stitchy stuff over the next few days and it will have to wait for now.
