I was digging thru the project bag of all my Sunday Stitches chart to decide what to start on next, I decided I didn’t feel like searching for lots of floss and there are several one color projects in my Sunday Stitches bag so I pulled out Love & Joy. I also realized I didn’t have a photo of that one included on my Sunday Stitches page (which you can find in the top of the blog header) that shows the charts I have to choose from and shows the finished Sunday Stitches. This was bought right before the “no buy 2022” moratorium went into effect. It’s called Love & Joy and is such a pretty design. The called for color is one of my favorite reds but I’ve got several red projects in the works and am getting kind of bored with red. I knew I wanted a very mottled or variegated shaded thread and went to the group of Victorian Motto Floss from the variegated collection to see what I might have.
The floss is called My Tapestry and goes from dark blue to purples and the fabric has a light purplish hue to it – Sprite by PTP.
I do kind of want to start the chart that I got to reflect the “Frosty the Snowman” song.
I think that is so cute. I think I will change the word “Christmas” to “Winter” so it’s not Christmas specific or I may just leave off the words and put more swirls. But I have the prettiest blue fabric with sparkles in it that I think will look so good.
But, I want to finish the current snowman chart I have in the works before I start another one. both are Teresa Kogut designs and the other one, which I started last year, also fits my Sunday Stitches theme for this year. I was working on it ab bit last night – Up on the Housetop. Last night I finished the house color between the top row of windows and the icicles and got a few more rows on the roof done. I need to finish off that roof so I can get on with those three dancing snowmen on the roof.
ah you are a temptress! can you tell me who makes ‘comfort and joy’? i have a few projects i’m working on but hey what’s one more…LOL
I’m assuming you mean Love & Joy – I generally try to take my photos to show the design company /designer name. Heartstring Samplery. It’s a fun stitch – I nearly got it completed last weekend.
I think Love & Joy is going to be gorgeous in the purples, can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Impressive number of finished pieces for 2021. I did not see Quaker Crow and I though you did that one last year also.
I started it last year but those are only finishes.
Great Idea to replace “Christmas” with “Winter” it can be used for many more months and so appropriate with the design.
