I know, I know....what happened to fall stitching in October? Or at least normal stitching in October? I have a completely valid excuse, I promise, I can produce a doctor's excuse if I need to.....I'm pretty sure I can, anyway ;)
I was hoping to start on Jardin Prive's Eiffel Tower design using the same color thread scheme that was called for in the Marquise design. I was even hoping to use the same color fabric for the design. And that's when the universe went frolicking off into a field of rainbows without me.
So checking my fabric (28ct antique white evenweave by MCG Textiles), I noticed that it didn't match my Marquise design. I thought okay, maybe it's just mislabeled. Went by Hobby Lobby and Joann's Fabrics....and no, it wasn't mislabeled. I think they have changed the dye lot of the fabric so instead of a creme colored fabric called antique white, it is now off white colored fabric called antique white.
I've been online to see if anyone is selling the old color and looking at MCG Textiles' website, it looks like they might.........so I am going to have to buy some. I really want the Eiffel Tower to match the Marquise design......I know, I'm a glutton for punishment by insisting on this fabric color, but what I can say......nothing except I'm a glutton. LOL
So while searching for fabrics, I have been stitching several Christmas designs to past the time. Two very cute designs by Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery and a lovely snowman design by Blue Ribbon Designs :)
I'll probably make the Blue Ribbon Designs piece into an ornament and save the Frosted Pumpkin designs for a future finish.
Until next time ^____^
You can never be too early for some Christmas stitching :))
