It's a perfect quote from the Bible for the New Year 2023. I have been working on, for several years, perfecting my mind to embrace only the good of people and the world. I am not perfect at it yet, but I am improving. This is a year that I want to stitch every single day, even if it is just one stitch. I would like to update my blog on a daily basis, but alas I think that is hopeless. But I will give it a go.
The above image is a 1996 class project from Just Nan called Snowflower Lace. I have the kit. I attended the class at the now defunct Just Needlin' shop. It has been in my stash for the past 26 years. I laugh heartily at that ludicrous amount of time. I did start it maybe 2 weeks ago and have failed to work on it daily. It is a stunning piece as you can see. Here is my progress to this moment.
I am stitching it on 28 count Lugana in the color "wheat" which is similar to DMC 3782. It is darker then the mushroom lugana that I love. I chose it because it warms the pink and blue tones which I prefer. The grey fabric called for is lovely but it is cooler.
So far I am quite enjoying this piece although the Chinese Stitch gave me fits which is amusing as it isn't difficult at all.
My next post I will share with you what my basket of lifetime stitching is all about and what I am doing with the rest of my stash. Stitch blessings until then.
