So of course I had to start it. It is so fun to start something new. I had to iron everything and do some basting of the design parts to muslin.
I got to Lesson 2 which is actual stitching. This is fun!
I got two kits for Christmas. One is the Hampton Court Kit from England.
I want to put this on the top of my casket. There is a whole book of directions. Forty pages long.
I read through the first few pages to see what has to be done first. What I have to do first is color the pond with some permanent colored pencils. They aren't in the kit so I ordered them. I found an art supply place where you can just order the color number that you need rather than get a big set. I need three blue pencils. They were shipped yesterday. I have to wait to start this kit but I want to do it just right.
Boy, am I lucky.

I got the Winter Keepsakes class for Christmas -- tell Amy Mitten she owes you a commission!! Can't wait to get started.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I look forward to following your progress as I have Amy's Winter Keepsakes too but haven't started it yet. I am booked on to the Hampton Court Palace workshop with Jenny Adin Christie next year.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see them done up.

Me too....I'm curious to see your progress on Amy project.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime I've a question for you, if I can.......could you tell me the name of silk color you're using since I'd like to order some silk from her. I love their antique look.
Happy stitching,
