My Sunday Stitchy Update 02/02/20

Evening Friends!

I do hope that everyone had a great stitchy week. I think my January has been a bit mixed up due to the fact that I was not keeping track of the dates and what I was supposed to be doing!

Anyways, when I finally realized the date, the month was darn near over and I had not even started my monthly stitch! Uh oh... So I got to work on it and January is just about finished and I love how colorful it is looking.

First Stitch 01/28/20
Progress as of 02/02/20

Just an FYI - If you have this in your stash you may want to check the designer's website to see if your chart is affected by the color typo they have listed there!

Hope to have this piece finished up tomorrow and then I can start on February.

Knowing that I wanted to stitch this set on a brownish colored fabric that was sort of like the shade of Jingles I decided to try my hand at tea dying a piece of fabric again.

I think it came out a pretty color and I am very happy with it.  I have soooo much white fabric in my stash that I hate to buy more if I can dye it myself!

I followed The Twisted Stitcher's Baking and Basting technique which has some pretty simple instructions. 
Thanks so much for stopping by,
see ya next week with another faithful update!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 01/27/19

This week I added another one of my new pieces into the rotation. 

I wanted to stitch this on a sandy brownish color fabric and of course I have none in my stash. However I do have TONS of white aida! All different counts and sizes and I really want to clear out some, at least the 14 count! 

So... I googled (I love googling) how to dye fabric and I came across tea and/or coffee dying. Woohoo sounds like I could be on to something to get that brownish color. So with the help of Tia (my daughter) we got to work and tea dyed some fabric!

This is the finished project.
I love how it turned out!

So I got my needle threaded and got to stitching!
