In October 2023, Hobby House Needleworks offered As the Crow Flies Pinkeep by Stacy Nash Designs as a kit. Since Fall is my favorite time of year and I love the Fall colors, I purchased it. The kit came with the chart, floss, fabric, and finishing trim. I chose the 16ct aida option.
The called for fabric is Cosmic Platinum fabric. I am not sure what the kit shipped with as I did not write it down but it is a mottled orange/tan fabric. It is a little darker than I normally stitch on so I am using the lighter side of the fabric.
I’m working on building the house now and planting grass in the front. I’m not sure if I will finish it as a pinkeep or not. I may mount it on a board OR frame it. We’ll see once I finish stitching it.
I decided that rather than framing this one, I would mount it on top of one of those boxes that look like a book. I would have preferred one a bit darker brown but I did not want to risk messing it up by painting it. The dimensions of this one is: 1.88” H x 10.31” W x 6.69” D
I mounted the stitched piece on a piece of matboard with a single layer of batting, then laced the stitched piece to the board using upholstery thread.
Right now, the stitched piece is just sitting on the book box. I will probably use acid free double sided stitchy tape to attach it to the box.
Looks like you changed a lot of the colors, correct?
What a lovely autumn piece you are working on, Pat! Pretty color palette!
No I used the recommended colors as it came as a kit. I do use 2 strands.
Beautiful finish— I love the crow with his treasures.
