Fantastic Fifteen!

This finish marks number fifteen that's been completed for the year. In turn, this means I am four away from matching my all time record of 19 out of the  Bin O'Shame  and ten away from my goal of 25. This one stitched up really easily as all of Michelle Lash's designs do, but the backstitching was a bit annoying. Probably because I do so little of it, haha!

Well, here it is in all it's glory:

Design: Spring Welcome Banner #BB03

Designer: Michelle Lash of Brittercup Designs

Fabric: 28 count flax Cashel linen

Floss Used: Weeks Dye Works  embroidery floss in Honeysuckle #1108, Blue Spruce #1276, Morris Blue #2109, Scuppernong #2196, Grapefruit #2245, Hibiscus #2278, and Iris #2316.

Well, I best be off. I need to clean up my area and get another project out from the  Bin O'Shame . Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Throwback Thursday Project

Grabbed another project out of the  Bin O'Shame and found it amusing that this project on Saturday, January 1, 2004. Throwback Thursday indeed! It should take less than a week to finish up, however, I had to order tow skeins of floss. It never pays to rob Peter to pay Paul. As this was kitted up and started over 11 years ago, the dye lots will not match. I will probably leave it as is, though. 

Well, at any rate, here is my Throwback Thursday UFO, which is now a WIP: 

Design: Spring Welcome Banner #BB03

Floss Used: Weeks Dye Works  embroidery floss in Honeysuckle #1108, Blue Spruce #1276, Morris Blue #2109, Scuppernong #2196, Grapefruit #2245, Hibiscus #2278, and Iris #2316.

I have since removed the backstitching, as I plan on redoing that portion of the design. I am also toying with the idea of re-stitching one of the flowers, as it is painfully obvious that I was new to using overdyed floss and it's not really pretty stitching. Then again, I may leave it as a reminder of how far I have come :).

Well, I had best be off. I need to do some chores. Hope everyone has a fantastic Easter weekend!:)
