First, I finished off Christmas Fruit Basket by Threadwork Primitives, which I had started on vacation earlier this month. I stitched it with almost all the called for colors on some Zweigart that I dyed myself with coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/img_6794.jpg?resize=640%2C380&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4711\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of my dye lots are quite different from those used in the model. I changed the green highlight on the letters to dark brown. I think it looks less weird. My green was quite bright and the tan letters were more tan than green. I should get more confident to just sub in colors to match rather than sticking to the called-for if it&#8217;s clearly a stretch! Anyway, I think it will be finished as a little pillow. I have so many pretty Christmas designs that are similar in this prim style and size that I think eventually a display of pillows will be necessary. I have 2 others stitched but not finished and I don&#8217;t even know how many are in the queue. I must think of where, during Christmas decorating time, I will have a place for a display of pillows! Maybe in a basket under the tree! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also got the Yellow-Brown bird from La D Da finished up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"746\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/img_6793.jpg?resize=640%2C746&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4710\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I really like the style of the designer&#8217;s initial in the model, LM. Unfortunately my initials are not LM. I made up my own fancy initial MH. What do you think? Does it look ok? I am more interested in having a little decorative something where the LM was than something that reads as initials. I hope I matched the style ok. I am not convinced but I&#8217;m not sure I want to come up with something else. I am ready to move on from Yellow Brown! I found some good trim so I&#8217;m also set to FFO this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What did you stitch this month? Did you go with a seasonably appropriate fall theme? Did you do something for everyday? Or did you got out of season? I can\u2019t wait to visit you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- start LinkyTools script -->\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.linkytools.com\/thumbnail_linky_include.aspx?id=305207\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script>\n<!-- end LinkyTools script -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this month&#8217;s Smalls check in, I got 2 little things done.
