I have finally finished my little folk art bird stitching project. I started it in September and it has travelled around with me on several outings and I have worked on it at home as well. I downloaded the PDF from Chloe Redfern. I chose to stitch it with the colours she recommended and love how it turned out though I found it quite busy because I reduced the pattern in size to suit my project. Next, time I will reduce the amount of details I transfer to my fabric and will consider doing it in variegated floss which will mean much less starting and ending which would be less distracting as a slow stitching project. You can see that the transferred lines have all disappeared after having washed it by hand with which was what I was expecting. I used the gray marker from the small Ultra Clean Crayola marker set I bought in early September. I am very happy to have a washable marker for my stitching projects!! The price cannot be beat and you can use the marker closest to the colour of your stitching if you like. I will now have to find the other squares I cut out at the beginning of this project and the markers which have been misplaced before I can move on with a few more of these cute little birds!!
I am linking to Kathy's Quilts blog for Slow Sunday Stitching. Check out the other
interesting projects that this creative group is working on.
