Sun, Moon And Stars by Little House Needleworks was originally released in 2014 as thread packs (three separate charts including floss), Over the Moon, Beneath the Stars, and Under the Sun. I purchased them in 2014 and they have been sitting and waiting to be stitched since then.
When I saw the new release, I decided to dig them out and kit them up. I decided I wanted to stitch them as one vertical to possibly finish as a bell pull. I selected a piece of 16ct Summer Storm aida by Seraphim that was a mottled blue fabric with all the called for floss.
Two down and one to go.
The first photo gives a better idea of the actual color of the fabric I stitched it on. Now to go in search of some bellpull hardware to finish it.
I’m not real happy with the hanging hardware but it was all I had on hand and not as many shops offer the nicer ones in the correct size. I’ll keep looking.
Question: when you grid your fabric, how many spaces do you go? It looks like it’s 10 spaces across the width and 6 to 8 down the length. This technique would certainly be helpful to me, especially when working on linen.
Thank you
Love your fabric choice, Pat! I like the idea of this being stitched vertically on one piece of fabric. Looking forward to seeing the other two designs. Have a great weekend!
I just use a running stitch on whichever I do first, horizontal or vertical. On the next run, I just make sure the lines cross so no real counting. As long as each section is 10×10 or 20×20 (evenweave) that is all I need.
Thank you. I’m definitely trying this on my next project.
