So am busily preparing my next cross-stitch project to take with me and here are the goodies that arrived yesterday but, of course, it entails decisions, decisions and I am hopeless at them!
The design is supposed to be stitched on the darker piece of fabric but I am not at all sure I quite like the colour but do realise that this is the colour the designer chose so probably should go with the flow ... I ordered the lighter piece of fabric to give me the option. Will get them both out in the daylight and decide ... hopefully.
Short and sweet this week as I need to be doing 101 other things ... had planned a few peaceful and quiet hours cross-stitching my current project but it is a gift for eldest nephew and he just turned up, raided the cupboards, fired up his laptop and so will be here for a good while yet so no secret sewing.
Best thing today is to pop to see all the so much more interesting workdesks than mine and you can find these at Julia's Stamping Ground HERE
am with you go lighter the other is far too sombre.. and dont want it like that Happy WOYWW Shaz in oz.x in the 60's :D

Have a lovely time away!!! I've not cross stitched for 20 years, Happy Easter.. Hugs May x x x No11
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me :) - all I can say is that I did a Bothy Cut Thru Rocket cross stitch on a dark fabric and it was really difficult - hurt my eyes so it took ages, I have heard that you should put a piece of white paper/fabric under it whilst sewing on a dark colour but I couldnt figure out how to hold all that together! Enjoy your break. Sunshine Girl no. 57

Lovely desk today - the skeins of embroidery silks are gorgeous. Looks like the light fabric is going to win the day judging by other comments. Happy Easter. Elizabeth x #147
ReplyDeleteWell Bette...dare I suggest you work both pieces and then decide?!!! Lovely that your nephew isso at home, but sorry that your secret stitching has been busted!
ReplyDeleteAw, cross-stitch. I used to do that years ago and loved it so much. I still have a bag of projects and know I'll get back to it someday. Have a wonderful holiday!! #141

ReplyDeleteI am sorry I am a bit late this week!! Have a fab WOYWW and a lovely Easter, Luv Karen xx #173
I prefer the paler fabric too, but you need really good daylight to decide for certain. Have a good time at Eastnor, and give everyone our love. Hopefully we will meet up with them later in the year. xx Maggie #9
ReplyDeleteI'm with those above for using the paler colour fabric. Hope you have a great break away. Thabks for your kind comment on my painting. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteThe paler fabric looks to be the one to me, but what do I know?! Admire anyone with the skills to sew/embroidery etc Take care, it's Friday and I'm still snooping my way through the list! Zo xx 78
