Day 10 - Debbie's Challenge

Hello beautiful friends! Today's new start "Twilight Pearls Leaf Ball" by Just Nan.
I thought I would have had more stitching time today but I didn't. I spent most of the sorting/organizing threads, pins, ribbons etc. Still not done sigh....
Then I had to read and re-read the instructions -LOL before placing my first stitch! This is one design that requires 24 leaf motifs & 12 flower motifs on 2 different linens.

 32ct Wandering Ivy linen by Zweigart

The leaf motifs are stitched on a pretty variegated light green linen and later for the flower motifs are stitched on Dusk which is a pretty lavendar/blues variegated linen (not shown).
Thank you for visiting me. With love and appreciation - Annette

I've never seen anything like this before! Can't wait to see more of it. I do my bobbinating while the boys do their homework, I call it my homework!

Marilyn said...

This is going to be so pretty.
Love the fabric.

This is a great project. And what a beautiful fabric you have for the leaves. It will be very interesting to see your progress on it.

I saw this when it came out and I thought the finishing looked pretty daunting, especially for someone who is put off by finishing!!! It will be very interesting to see how this progresses and good luck with that finishing!! Laura

Oh, this one looks wonderful! Complicated to do, but it'll be so worth the effort!

Anna Zont said...

Carol said...

Ooh, pretty! Hope this gets worked on as soon as your 31 are all started - too many of us are anxious to see this in progress and finished!

Pretty fabric and beautiful design Annette. Can't wait to see it finished. It's something that I would never attempt.

This is such a pretty design! Such a finish is far beyond me. Kudos to you for taking it on!
