Home Sweet Home Update

I did the ironing today, so I took the opportunity to remove the hoop, iron this piece and photograph it.

It’s Home Sweet Home by Modern Folk Embroidery – the new pattern is a bit different to this.

I am working on 40 count linen using Au ver à soie 100.3.

I am enjoying planning my stitch path, so I don’t have runs of thread on the back and I don’t have to end threads all of the time.

I am being very monogamous, but I have joined to SALs; Jardin Privé and Clouds Factory. My supplies haven’t arrived yet – I ordered from JKs Cross Stitch Supplies. Once they arrive I will have to decided what to do.

Home Sweet Home

I am back onto my Home Sweet Home cross stitch – I am enjoying the process.

It is a 40 count linen (Zweigart, but I don’t know the name), Au ver à Soie 100.3 (colour 650).

The pattern is from Modern Folk Embroidery.

Home Sweet Home Progress

Now that my stitching class has finished (it starts again in a few weeks), I have been working on this sampler. I feel like I have done a lot, but there is still a long way to go.

Here’s is what it will look like

I will change the date to 2024 (or 2025).

I amusing 40 count linen and a au ver à soie silk (100.3). I thought I would find the 40 count tricky, but with my sewing glasses and magnifier I am fine.
