Thank you!

So I had a bad day and started something new (because what else should be done )

This is my progress on a pattern by Viktoriya Ivchenko called кружечки тепла - which translates to something like mugs of warmth I think.
I also added a photo from Viktoriya's page to show you what the finished piece will look like someday - basically, it's me!
So far, I'm loving the progress, stitching on 32ct dark brown linen by Zweigart with DMC colours. What do you think?





I also tried postimage.org for the first time, and I am finding it to be very easy to use!

What do I think?
Well, it will look great and a good start. Working on brown must be difficult, but it will be good when finished.

All the best with it.

What an unusual design and how brave of you to do it on brown linen but it is going to be fabulous when it is finished I am sure.


You certainly had made a good start with it which have some lovely colours and interesting shapes.

Great start. It is going to look beautiful.

Looking so pretty already!! Fantastic project and beautiful fabric choice~~

Such a lovely project it looks wonderful already

Lovely, warm design! You made a great start

A lovely start on a great design! Looks like it will be a fun project too. Looking forward to your updates!

Thank you everyone!
I have stitched a little more, but I think I'll try and post weekly updates from now on, so the next one will be next Wednesday!

So pretty on the brown. Look forward to seeing it again soon.

This makes me want a hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows

Thank you! I haven'st stitched a lot on it this week so I might wait a little more before I'll update you soon.

My Wednesday update. I didn't have a lot of time to stitch but made some progress nonetheless. (Dark brown stitches on dark brown linen are the worst! )

Lovely progress, especially when stitching dark colors on dark fabric!!

Carole

Thank you Carole! The dark colours are so difficult to do, but I think the end result will be beautiful.

Also Ich have SUCH good news. I ordered a StitchSmart floor stand and it came today. That means I can now stitch two-handed and hopefully I won't be in that much pain anymore.

Lovely progress Sina in spite of the brown on brown and now that you have your stand you will be off into orbit I am sure.

Coming along nicely. hw hard to stitch on the dark brown although the colours do look lovely on it. Well done on getting more done. Look forward to next update

It almost looks like an abstract piece at the moment, with all those lovely swirly colourful shapes!

Thank you!

Yes Izzi it's really hard, but also lots of fun (the lighter colours )

Great progress!!

I always hate stitching the same colour on coloured fabric!! but you are doing a grand job!
