Stacy Nash Country Sampler Girls Club
House on Pumpkin Hill Pinkeep
32 count Belfast Linen--Charcoal Gray
Gentle Arts Fibers
It's past time to catch up on club pieces. I have learned if I want to enjoy seasonal pieces, I have to start stitching long before the season. Stitching on the darker line was challenging. There is a similar club piece called Wooly's Pinkeep which is also stitched on Charcoal Gray, I will stitch at a later date as I needed a break from the darker linen.
I found a great piece of trim in my stash--the jury is still out on the backing fabric.
Catching up is still on the agenda--have started stitching The Keys' Keeper from The Primitive Hare--she will make a good addition to my colonial pieces. Will share when there is more progress.
This is beautiful!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I always had a hard time stitching on any linen--light or dark. : )
That is a wonderful Fall design. I agree, if you wait till the season, you will be enjoying it the next time that season comes around.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful piece! I agree that the dark backgrounds are very challenging... a tip I read was to place a light under the stitching so you could see the holes better. I tried it with a Country Stitches design that was stitched on black linen. And while it did help a little... it was not enjoyable enough to finish the piece. Congrats to you for following through and finishing your piece! :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Good for you for working on catching up!
ReplyDeleteYou belong to the best clubs. This little pieces darling. The dark linen is a perfect background for this piece. Sorry it was a bummer to work on. Sounds like you're on a roll to catch up

ReplyDeleteI LOVE this House on Pumpkin Hill!
ReplyDeleteThe background was a wonderful choice.
I've discovered I don't start early enough on seasonal pieces either. : ) This is such a pretty design on the darker fabric!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely design,I love it on the darker fabric.
ReplyDeleteI always have to stitch ahead of a holiday or else I do not get it done.
