I finished up Wipocalypse/Year of WIPs 2018 project #1. This is February Word Play by Brenda Gervais.
I stitched this 1/2 on a 32-count linen from R&R Reproductions in the Creme Brulee colorway. I used mostly the called-for GAST threads, although I didn't have 2 of the colors, so I substituted Cherry Cobbler from Classic Colorworks for the red and Heirloom Gold from Colour and Cotton for the pale yellow in the center of the flowers. I backed this using a red and white striped cotton ticking fabric.
I'm quite fond of the little Colonial couple - super cute!
Since I had set aside 5 days in my rotation to work on this project, and it only took me 2 to finish it up, I used the remaining 3 days to pull out the Every Heart pincushion from Shepherd's Bush. This little kit came with everything to stitch up the design - pattern, linen, needle, threads, buttons and finishing ribbon/seed pearls. I didn't quite it finished, but I did make enough progress I think I can finish it up in February during my WIP project 5-day rotation slot. I'd really like to have this one to display during July this year!
Finally, I got my Colour and Cotton FOTM club fabric. This gorgeous colorway is "Oasis" and it's shown here on 28-count Jobelan.
Happy Stitching!
