I am, naturally, referring to my latest finish. I completely missed the deadline for New Years' this year, but the stitching is finished really early for next year :). I have wanted to stitch this one for the longest time, but never really 'found' time to stitch it. I had this design printed out and in one of my freebie binders that I have in my stitching library. I had a small piece of leftover fabric that I had leftover from another project. It was perfect for this small design and I love how it turned out. I need to find an appropriate way to finish it off so that it may be displayed at the end of the year. I also need to find more New Years' projects to stitch. I really do not have enough of them and I really do love New Years' projects.
At any rate, here is my latest finish:
Design: New Years' Magic
Designer: Brooke Nolan of Brooke's Books
Fibers Used: DMC Embroidery Floss Art. 117 as called for in the chart. Kreinik metallic threads in #4 Very Fine Braid in #001 HL Silver, #032 Pearl #4 braid, and #3223 Ametrine.
Stitchers' Notes: This design is a freebie on the Brooke's Books website. Border and year left off in favor of a generic Happy New Year design and to keep the design more 'open'. Substituted called for Mill Hill beads for in house supplies. Began Sunday, February 19, 2017. Stitching completed Thursday, February 23, 2017.
It was really hard to capture the darkness of the fabric with the bling of the Czech glass beads. it was totally worth it, however! :)
Well, I need to be off. I have chosen my next project and I need to clean up my area in order get started on it. No rest for the wicked. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
