Bittersweet Acorn by Blackbird Designs was one of the retreat projects for 2021. It should be available at the Nashville Market 2022. I received it as a gift along with a piece of 18ct Wren by Picture This Plus. I switched out the fabric for a piece of 16ct Regency also by Picture This Plus.
The called for threads are all Weeks Dye Works – Cinnamon Twist, Cocoa, Cognac, Dirt Road, Oscar, Roasted Fig, Tobacco Road, and Swamp Water.
I started stitching this one on January 6, 2022.
No idea at this point how I will finish it. I think I will stitch this one again on a different count fabric (perhaps 20ct over 2) cause I like the way it looks.
I decided to finish this one using a small wooden board I bought from Hobby Lobby for half price. The boards were available in both a dark and natural color so I got several of them. I had purchased some Fall trim and added that to the edging. It was a bit stiff to work with so no bow or whatnot.
What a beautiful design you started, Pat! Love the colors! Have a wonderful weekend! Stay warm!
A lovely piece!
