Hey there! August is almost over and autumn or spring are right around the corner. How has your week been? Did you get much stitching done? Did you start a new project?

I’m just commenting so I remember to post a picture tomorrow. I started a modified combination of these two patterns this morning, and it’s the first time I’ve used variegated floss and now I’m worried I’ll never be able to use anything else. The store I buy Lecien floss from (across the country, of course) is about to have to ship me all of it.
That should be really interesting! I especially like the enchanted forest one! How are you going to combine them?
I’m using the forest one as the border and the bear in the middle. I just cut off the flowers on the left side of the bear and added a second back foot because I liked how it looked better. I’m making a few adjustments to the colors to make everything work together, but it didn’t require much there.
I really like that border, and I’d like to try it myself, but that kind of embroidery seems way more intimidating compared to cross stitch lol
I feel the opposite! I’m intimidated by the counting and how everything has to be so precise with cross stitch. Embroidery is more like, eh I messed that up a little, stitch something next to it to make it look better.
These are both so incredibly cute. The people demand a photo!
The people can finally have one! I couldn’t post a picture from my phone, so it took a while, but here’s what I got done yesterday. https://imgur.com/a/jvZHCB6
What’s the stitch on the bear? Looks really interesting.
It’s a split stitch - it’s just back stitching, but you just stick the needle through the middle of your previous stitch. The original pattern used chain stitch but it’s a lot more work, so I went the lazier route that still gives a similar kind of sweater-y effect.
