Jo's Stitching 2023
Happy New Year
If you recall I have three, or possibly four pieces under way: TW's Peacock Tapestry, TW's Harvest Sampler, A Vincent Motorcycle and the Fall Fairy. And I am currently working on my Fall Fairy
The weather for the last week has been wet, wet and miserable so I have been working on my Fairy's dress:
This is another of those Dimension Gold pieces where they mix crosses with half stitch and vary the number of threads being used from one up to five. The fives can be really difficult to get through especially if I try to do half stitches on this tough Aida .

Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
What a lovely piece to be working on at this time of year. Love the colours!
Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
Absolutely beautiful. I cannot imagine stitching with 5 strands unless the fabric is 11 count and not aida if it includes fractional stitches. But the end result is going to be fantastic. Looking forward to more updates on this one!

Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
Here was me moaning about 3 stranded stitches It is looking wonderful and colourful and joyful

Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
All those half’s and fulls and different number of threads makes for such a lovely textured picture. In the end, it’s worth the work.
Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
She’s beautiful. Dimensions kits require attention to detail as they use so many different types of stitches and number of strands, but the results are always gorgeous.

Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
Thank you for your kind comments.
I've rounded the bottom and am heading up the left side:
As you can see there is another tree trunk appearing on the left and hopefully with the damp weather we have been having we will see some Fungi soon

Gets more lovely with every update! The detail is stunning. I think I spotted a little butterfly in the bottom right corner? Didn't notice any fungus, which I think is a good thing

Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
I can definitely see the fungi appearing.
This is such a beautiful and colourful design, can't wait to see more.
Have fun at Tai Chi.

Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
Gets more beautiful with each update. The colors are so vibrant.
Since it isn't morning anymore for you, I hope your Tai Chi class went well and that the weather has warmed up a bit.
-6 sounds pretty cold to me. (I know its Celcius and not the same as -6 F, but its still cold no matter what number you give it )

Re: Jo's Stitching 2023
Thanks I always enjoy my Tai Chi and my friday Qigong.
Because I was late posting last week's update there is less to see this week
Very unusual to see a Swallowtail Butterfly after August

Better and better with each update! It may be late in the season for the Swallow tail but the colors are perfect for this design. Fits right in!
