This will be the town's boarding house and while I haven't stitched the modifications on this one for personalized details, I will be changing up the sign to reflect my Gram's name. This one is on hold then until August.
Yesterday I then started the final 6-day rotation for July, which also was a new start I've been saving to work on as a birthday treat for myself (technically tomorrow, the 27th, but I'll be working on this for 6 full days as well) - Chatelaine's Desert Mandala.
Not a great photo as it's a download off the Chatelaine site of the mockup, but this is what it will look like when it's finished. I'm stitching mine on a 28-count hand-dyed Lugana fabric by Picture This Plus in the Calypso colorway. I thought all the desert-y colors would really pop off this fabric.
I've started in the center at the tree and lightning bolt. The colors are plain DMC threads and the silver bits is sparkly Petite Treasure Braid.
I'm really enjoying working on this so far - lots to keep you interested and fun to watch the picture take shape.
