Beauty and the beast

Post by Lisa »

Got this today for Christmas. Loved the simplicity but yet how it tells the whole story. It's a Bothy Threads kids. It's using 3 strands of black over 1. The only other colours in it is metallic silver for the arch on top of the castle. And a metallic red for the heart and rose.

And this is today's progress so far

It really is. And the fabric is even more :wub: in person.

They have a whole range of scenes like this. I chose this one because beauty and the beast is my all time gave Disney film.

I love Bothy Threads. Their cut thru series is also amazing. I've done a couple of these. I love their dictionary series too, but I'm yet to do any of those.

:applesauce: :applesauce: Stunning update!!! Looking forward to seeing more of this when you get back to it. I'm interested in hearing how the switch back to an HAED with all its colors and confetti feels after working on this one!

Fantastic update - it's going to be beautiful and you're so fast. I don't blame you for wanting to stitch some color for awhile, but I have to say, I love this one. I'd never really paid attention to the series until I saw your WIP and now I have a few on my wish list. :-)

Bothy Threads is possibly my favorite kit company (along with Derwentwater Designs). I usually don't buy kits, but theirs are great. The fabric and the fibers are high quality, as are their charts. I have a few in my stash and I recently finished the Dictionary of Technology.
