Finished - Begin Row...


 Begin Row - Bent Creek.  The 6th Finish for 2021.  One over one, on 25 count Moss Lugana using called for fancy called for flosses except the dmc ecru, which I changed to Chalk fancy floss.  Otherwise it just didn't show.  It is a lovely pattern.  My fabric is older, so a bit darker than what you get if you order it now.  It's a bit more green mint color now I think.

It looked like this when I picked it back up again.

This is My Shadow by Heartstring Samplery.  This round decided to stitch the outline.   There are words in her skirt...  but once I put those in - it's all fill in.  It's not a favorite pattern, but I have started it, so I added a couple days this round, and it's now tossed back in the pile again. 

This is what it looked like when I picked it back up again.

New Starts This Round

Bent Creek - Begin Row.
New start on 25 count Wichelt lugana in Moss / Celadon, one over one, using the suggested fancy floss.  I am really happy with the fabric color for this - a light green.
There were lots of new starts this round. Begin Row was the last one, and my favorite. 
Plum Street Samplers - Blackberry House.
New start on Colour and Cotton - Swiss Coffee 28 count lugana, one over one.  Using the suggested fancy flosses.  The house color is the suggested, but mine is a darker dye lot.  The house is not my favorite part, so I'm just letting it be weird.  When my LNS went out of business, their floss was cheap, but you had to find the a chart that needed the floss they still had left.  This one they had 8 of the 14 colors.  I was not gonna just buy random colors, I bought for stuff I had or wanted to do. 
Lizzie Kate - Things Unseen. 
Using all the suggested stuff so that the button set will work.  Stitching two over two is not my thing, but I'm trying.  I like the pattern, and might have to do it a second time over one.
