A Peacock-Colored Initial!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

I finished Little House Needleworks’ Candy Cane Twist! This was a small quick project but so good to get it done because it has been in my “Do This Year” binder for 2 years! I am off to Jo Ann’s this week to see if their selection of Christmas fabrics is in yet. I would like to FFO it right away, as well as the several more LHNs I have in my finished drawer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just for fun, I got another piece out of my “Do This Year” binder-this one was added for this year so it’s not quite so shameful!: Initiales au Paon (Initial with Peacock) by Gigi R. I saw this stitched teeny tiny at my LNS and the finish was remarkable. That stitcher used Gloriana’s Bluegrass on hers and it was gorgeous, but I decided to use one with more purple in it, a limited edition from Thread Gathered called Flannel Flower. I’m stitching on a 40 ct. antique white by Zweigart which is not as tiny as the model I saw but it’s about what I can do right now. Here’s the start of my M:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will say one motivator to doing this project is that the People’s Choice this month is “monochrome” and so far in my stitching life I have not done much monochrome. So, at the end of the month I\u2019ll link up with Joann at Serendipitous Stitching to show my progress on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great week everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And don\u2019t forget to check out the Instagram #commonthreadedstitcher challenge<\/a> if you have not already. I was a little dubious about posting daily but it\u2019s been a lot of fun so far!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
