What do you think a needleworker starts packing?
Ah yes :) This is going to go with me on the flight because I don't have time to work on it right now. I can't wait to see it done.
This is a close up of the completed design. It was on the cover of Zweigart's September, 2007 issue of at home with Needlework.
I fail at getting anywhere on it because I'm trying to wrap up all the time-sensitive work I'm doing ASAP.

Hey, thanks for dropping by my blog
:)
You have some cute stuff! I love the new pincushion :D
That design is really lovely, and I LOVE the color you started with for your version. My grandma taught me a few needlework techniques when I was little. I haven't done anything for years, but this really makes me want to try again. I might try a little embroidery mixed in with patchwork for my next virtual quilting bee block!
Kat,
Go for it! Embroidery is so much easier than it looks and it's fun to do. I love seeing embroidery in quilts :)
The colorway (thread) you see there is DMC's variegated floss. I think it's 4030. It is for the perle cotton and it's usually universal for DMC. I'd check but rabbit ate the color identification band on the floss...
Wow - that will be really pretty. : )
I always pack my needleworks first too. The projects are lovely !
