Starting Home
23 June 2006 6 Comments
Today I finished stitching my recipe exchange piece. However, instead of jumping in and starting my summer exchange afterwards, I decided to start my new Friday project, Little House Needlework’s “Home of a Needleworker.” I don’t often stitch pieces with sayings or alphabets so this definitely a welcome change.
I have chosen to stitch “Home of a Needleworker” on a piece of 32 count cream Belfast that I found in my stash rather than opting for either of the fabrics that I mentioned a few days ago because I thought the other two were too dark.
It just so happens that the stitcher’s name is located in the middle of the piece and as I am a middle-starter, the first thing I had to do this evening was chart my name. As you can see I left the accent off my first name. I really hated to, but when I tried to chart one it looked funny so I just gave up. I only hope the whole thing is positioned properly: I guess I will find out later if things don’t match up.
Anyway, I will probably start on my summer exchange piece tomorrow… but not before I battle the line at the post office in the morning to pick up a package that I think contains Leslie’s RR fabric… and all because the stupid postman was too lazy to ring the doorbell this morning!
