Stitched on 32ct Douglas Fir hand dyed linen, using various autumnal colours from WDW and GAST
The design is by Blackbird Designs.
I stitched this design using alternative hand dyed fabric in green instead of ivory. I used Week dye works thread in 'Williamburg' instead of Midghtnight and finished it as a bag instead of frame it.
What a lovely spot. I'm Ruth and I can't seem to get enough of varigated threads and fabrics. I'm honored to be invited to join you all. And such timing!
I just got a variation back from the framer --
This is "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" from A. Fox Originals. I did it on Wichelt's "watercress" hand-dyed jobelan with the shamrocks done in Needle Necessities Christmasy green. It was supposed to be in DMCs but I just cannot control my urges to change things :)
And just today I finished Blackbird Designs "My Quaker House" on Wichelt's "summer sky" hand-dyed jobelan in a melange of Olde Willow and Sampler Threads
Possibly my favorite ever variation was one I finished a 3-4 months ago -- It is a class piece from M Designs -- a personalized sampler done on some simply scrumptious linen which I'll have to check the name of again and stitched mostly in Vicky Clayton Silks (the large "R" and one motif are stitched in a Silk n Colors from Thread Gatherer).
