Since my
Bunny's Bloom post, I've been thinking about trying out a smaller count fabric. Working something small and fairly uncomplicated gave me the courage to try. It was nice knowing that I wasn't tied down to some horribly huge piece that was going to take months to finish. Today, while obtaining my ubiquitous Wednesday stitching fix at
Stitcher's Paradise, I picked up a tiny monochrome design by Kelmscott Designs, a Miniature Monogram Hornbook-Margin Marker. I decided to stitch it on a 36 count to see how it went. I had to take frequent breaks and I now have a mild headache, however, I managed to get it completed in one sitting:
Design:
Miniature Monogram Hornbook-Margin Marker
Designer:
Kelmscott Designs
Fabric: 36 count Edinburgh linen by Stitches and Spice in
Wintered Marble Opalescent
Fiber: Access Commodities Soie d'Alger
#5116 Antique Violet Very Dark
Stitcher's Notes: Stitched one strand of floss over two linen threads. Hornbook and trim included in kit.
Well, I best be off. I have some things to do before work tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a great week! :)

That turned out lovely.
It turned out great! This week I started my first piece on a smaller count fabric, and I actually really like it. I wasn't sure if I would get the hang of it, or like it.
