I mentioned last month that I have some things I’m excited about as I return to normal life and regular stitching…one of those is Dorcas Haynes.<\/p>\n\n\n

This is the cover image from n the Scarlet Letter chart<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I gave her a start in 2021, but didn’t care for the colors in the Scarlet Letter version which is the only one available to me. I did some sleuthing, and with some luck and generous fellow stitchers, I did get a list of the colors used for Dorcas in the Darlene O’Steen version of this sampler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is my batch of colors. The top bands are with the new colors and the bottom bit was my false start from a few years ago. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are 20 colors in the Scarlet Letter version and 33 in Darlene’s version, and there is really no practical opportunity to get Darlene’s chart (which was a limited class and it will never be released) so I cannot learn what the color placement it, much less the extra specialty stitches used in it. I will have to determine these elements for myself. It’s been too overwhelming to think of it and plan. I haven’t had the giddyup to fuss with it. But…this year we did have a visitor to the shop bring in her completed Dorcas, which was a complete inspiration. She had made the colors up herself, I believe from studying the antique!…it was beautiful. I don’t have a chance to visit the antique in the Fitzwilliam Museum, but I have the list of colors used and I lot of photos online that I’ve collected. I’ve decided to Just Start and take one band at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, the first band is cross stitch in a medium green. That’s not a difficult decision to make. I did it this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next band is also cross stitch, with several colors, but it’s a nice regular pattern. I started it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am toying with the idea of chucking all my other plans this year and seeing what I can do with Dorcas. If I finished her within the year I think I’d feel pretty accomplished. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
