Home from the Sea by Blackbird Designs was first released at a Dyeing to Stitch Retreat held in April 2019. It was one of two designs released. The other one was We Live in Hope.
Both charts were released as a leaflet at the Nashville 2020 Needlework Market.
The kit itself came with both the fabric and floss to stitch the project, I chose to change out the 36ct Vintage Honey linen by R & R Reproductions to 28ct cream Monaco but used the recommended floss.
Recommended floss colors Weeks Dye Works:
- Beige
- Blue Jeans
- Caper
- Cocoa
- Deep Sea
- Dove
- Flatfish
- Palomino
- Schneckley
- Williamsburg
Started: March 21, 2020
Finished: April 6, 2020
I added the year I stitched it and my initials as well as my husband’s initials to commemorate his time in the Navy.
Beautiful finish, Pat! Hope you are well!
Lovely. Going back in my family history I had many trawler men and skippers in my family line and this would be a great tribute to them. I always like seeing a piece actually done like this, it is more inspiring then the design cover photo as it gives a better feel of how it can look. x
