Having finished my Bee book I have just this week started a new project. It’s a kit that’s been in my stash for some time, gradually creeping up the to do list, I’m pretty sure I bought it for about £10 on a facebook destash site. It’s a DMC kit called Butterfly Alphabet and I think it is very pretty.
It’s pre-printed linen and uses about ten DMC threads. The instructions are nice and clear, there’s one code for the threads and another for the stitch, it’s all straight forward stitches too like stem stitch, French knots and chain stitch.
So far I’ve stitched A and I’m half way through B…
I’m doing a back-stitch round the large leaves to try and keep my satin stitch neat. So far I’m enjoying stitching this one, I’ll probably frame it for the guest bedroom afterwards.
Time to link up today with fellow SAL members for our 3-weekly update and see what everyone else has been stitching.
