Indian Summer by Laura Perin is finished!
I would have finished it earlier this week, but I ran out of the thread for the outside border! I had about 1-1/2 sides done when I realized I didn't have enough. If any of you are going to stitch this, I used 2 skeins of the dark green #3051 pearl cotton and 3 skeins of the tan floss #738. Guess I'm just not a thrifty stitcher!
So now I have 2 pieces done in these colors. I will do a 3rd, but it will be DebBee's Designs Diamond Delights 3. Eventually they can all hang together.
Indian Summer by Laura Perin is moving right along. Each border gets longer so it takes more time to complete.
I did the 4 corners the other night cause I was tired of working on the border! Then there are the center squares to do the next time I need a change!
I'm pretty sure there are 2 more borders, but they are both basically satin stitches in pearl cotton & should go fast.
I worked on Indian Summer quite a bit before going to Seminar, and once since then.
All of the "stars" and the first border are complete. I have just started the 2nd border, which is more complex & wider. I think there is another one after that.
It seems that every project I am working on requires stripping and laying threads. I'm getting tired of that! I may have to break out a Bargello just for relief!!
Indian Summer is moving right along. It stitches up quickly and doesn't ask me for much of my attention! The top 2 patches are complete (except for that one corner which I'll fill in the next time I use that thread) and I've started on the bottom. Once the patches are done, there are several borders to stitch. I'm pretty sure hoping this will be finished before the end of the month!
I have started another Laura Perin piece - Indian Summer. This will be a companion piece to Sedona Sunrise which I finished a few months ago. I have changed a few of the colors so that they will be compatible. I know, I already have a ton of projects going, but sometimes I need to work on something that someone else has already figured out! Just follow the directions... This project uses Pearl Cotton, Floss, Watercolours and some FyreWerks. Here is my progress so far:
