As usual, I planned an exciting new start on this first day of the year. This year I pulled a very old pattern I've had kitted up for ages. And sew it begins...my 2020 New Year’s stitch piece! This is Flowers and Lace by Kooler Designs. It’s stitched on 32 count Lambswool Lugano over two...I heard those gasps!! Yes I stitch over two! AND I’m using THREE strands on these borders!!! I’m loving the look of it so far BUT the counting is slowing me down...it’s looking a little dark in this light...
Someone else posted a picture of this years ago. It was originally a kit that is now out of print. I learned that it was a Kooler Design so I contacted Donna, the designer, and asked if it would be available as a pattern. She told me that she was already working on it and it would be available soon. So I waited....with baited breath....and I might even have been the first to buy it when it became available as a PDF download. My husband bought it for me as a gift, along with the fabric and the floss. It's been sitting here for ages, waiting for just the right moment, and today was that day! Here is what it will look like finished...
Here's wishing you lots of adventures, stash enhancement and many hours of stitching delights! Best wishes in the New Year! Happy Stitching!!
