Truly Thine

 Truly Thine by Blackbird Designs was released in 2004 and has been Out of Print for some time now. I had really never wanted to stitch it because the fabric color suggested was too dark for my eyes. But then I saw a post with it stitched on a lighter fabric with different colors. 

The stitch count for the sampler is 69w x 93h. I chose a piece of 14ct pink aida I had in my stash and for floss the Color and Cotton Princess gradient set with C&C Aloe Vera for the green. 

I love how it turned out. Now to decide how to finish it.

Gather Friends

 Gather Friends by Threadworks Primitive is copyright 2019 but I had never seen it till recently and since Autumn is my favorite time of the year, I had to order it. I have a hard time with color charts and Nan is always willing to print a b&w one for me which is very much appreciated. Love her designs. 


 The pattern stitch count is 101W x 99H and calls for Weeks Dye Works and Gentle Art floss. I chose a piece of 14ct Vintage Taupe aida I had in my stash and used the called for floss.


 Now to decide on a frame for it.
