The Perfect Project

9 February 2006 21 Comments

As promised, here is this week’s SBQ, as suggested by Nancy:

Describe your “perfect” project. (Include the designer or specific pattern, the fabric, the floss, and anything else that would make that project “perfect” for you.)

When Nancy suggested this question a couple of weeks ago I was quite intrigued and though I have been pondering my answer ever since, I must admit that since my tastes change so often it is a very difficult question for me to answer.

However, at this point I think it is semi-safe to say that my “perfect” project would probably either be a MLI or a Mirabilia. It would be on a hand-dyed piece of 32 count linen that complimented the design and probably stitched with silk threads. (I say probably because I have not yet stitched with silk, but I love silk in any other form so I imagine I would love stitching with it too.)

In perfect conditions I would already have all of the supplies for this project and I would stitch it straight through in my comfy stitching chair with optimal light and minimal distractions. Then once I was finished I would promptly get it to the framer, it would be framed within a week or so, and I would hang it in a place of honor on my wall.

And the best part about this “perfect” project? It wouldn’t cost me a fortune! Oh, it is nice to dream, isn’t it? ;)
