Design: Spring Urn, a free design by Ewe & Eye & Friends
Started: Sunday, April 27, 2025 @2:15 p.m.
Finished: Thursday, May 29, 2025 @9:30p.m.
Fabric: 28 count linen in Dusty Green similar to DMC 523
Fibers: DMC stranded cotton as called for with the exception of 3740 for the coiled flowers. I used DMC Flower Thread number 2724.
Notes: This took much more time to complete then I anticipated. I stitched a total of 27 days on it. There were a few days I just didn't stitch on it. I wanted to stitch it so I could include an image of the design on a daily entry on my Facebook group "Needle Free For All". The chart is a bit of a challenge to read but I did accomplish that with a good deal of accuracy. I love how this turned out. I had never stitched Kam's coils before and they are certainly not perfect but I love the effect they have in the hanging flowers on the left. The alphabet did not come with the chart so I winged it on my own! I love the primitive feel. I would like to make a cushion with it, I think. I believe a trip to Hobby Lobby is in order to see if I can find another option. I mean when is a trip to Hobby Lobby not appropriate? I went out on the front porch to photograph this on this rare day of sunshine this May day and I hung it on my mailbox and thought it looked darling there. Fun, fun, fun!
