Finished: Wednesday, February, 5, 2025 @ Noon
Fabric: Heatherfield 26 count in "Hickory"
Fibers: Weeks Dye Works in Juniper, Kudzu, Lancaster Red and Red Pear, Gentle Arts Sampler Threads in Presidential Blue
Notes: I love the way this turned out. I enjoyed stitching on the Heatherfield. I did start this piece using the Kudzu but ultimately did not like the way it was showing up on my fabric color. I left it in the center of the right heart but then used the Presidential Blue for the letters and the left heart. Also, the little red square to the left of the left heart was to be satin stitched and I didn't care for that so I horizontally I wove in 3 lines to give it a patch looking texture. It was a fun little stitch which challenged me. I kept miscounting and had to rip out to redo several times. The red outline wouldn't meet up perfectly if the alphabet was not perfectly placed. I would someday like to finish this in a shabby chic type of pillow for a bowl on my dining room table.
