After doing some baking this morning, I pulled out Sweet Christmas by Cuore e Batticuore. I was planning on doing a rotation with my Sampler 4 Saisons pattern, but I ended up stitching all day on Sweet Christmas.
I blame my stitching needle. I bought some size 28 tapestry needles earlier. I forgot how tiny they are.....I am so used to using size 24 or 26 because I normally can't find size 28 in the stores.
Maybe I should switch back to 24 or 26?! It seems like I stitch faster with those sizes.
Do they make longer needles in the 28 size or are they always that tiny? Hmm...
I am loving the dessert I am stitching on, a strawberry cake! It's an adorable motif so far :)
Hopefully next Sunday, I can work on a rotation and not just this pattern O_o"
Have a great week, everyone!
Until next time >___<
I love the strawberry cake, and the white shows up nicely on that linen (I always have trouble making sure my whites show!). This is Stephanie from the HOE exchange, I couldn't find a way to email you, do you mind emailing me and i'll send you details on the exchange? I'm bluestarstitcher@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI always end up using B5200 on my cross stitch as white never seems white enough on cream colored linens.
DeleteCheck your email. I sent you one about the exchange :)
So pretty and delicate...and who doesn't like strawberry cake! LOL
ReplyDeleteStrawberry cake is one of my favorites. My grandmother made a strawberry shortcake when we were kids that was delicious. I wish I had gotten the recipe from her.
DeleteSuch a very pretty design.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteIt will take me a while to finish the pattern on a 32ct since I'm so used to 28ct, but it will be worth it :)
I can understand that you were working only on Sweet Christmas - these strawberries are kind of addictive, aren't they? Lol.
ReplyDeleteI only stitch with 28 needles no matter what the fabric count is. I tried 26 and 24 needles as well but for me they are too thick.
Yes, they are! Lol
DeleteWow! You are a patient lady. I don't think I could stitch with 28 needles all the time. I am so used to the larger needles that 28 seems like a fairy's needle!
