Happy Halloween to those of you coming from Jo's blog! Your letter is:
It's been kind of a terrible year, so I have gotten very little stitching done. I decided to focus on an old pattern I started decades ago (while I was in law school, I think) but never finished -- Liz Turner Diehl's Cider House Garden. I didn't manage to finish it this year, either, but I made good progress, stitching the house, one of the maple trees, and six of the apple trees:
I think I might finally be able to finish it next year.
I also started Wild Violet's primitive tarot set, but didn't get very far:
I dyed the aida myself, using black tea with a little baking soda to (I hope) cut down the acidity.
On to the next blog: http://guavagems.blogspot.com/ Have fun!

ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in the Halloween Blog Hop this year. Sorry I can only comment here if I use my laptop, not my iPad hence the late comment.
ReplyDeleteI do like the Cider House design, I've never seen that one before.
Thanks for the letter, and good luck finishing your older WIP!
