The Travelling Pattern

Hello friends and fellow bloggers,

Well the big day is nearly here. I am soooo looking forward to Tuesday when I finish work, hopefully we will finish early and then I am free until the 2nd January. It will be bliss. But ... I have so much planned and it involves organising. There are one or two areas that over the last few weeks have just had 'stuff' just dumped, so it is high time is was cleared away and tidied.

So onto why I wrote this blog post in the first place. As you know I received the "Count Your Blessings Travelling Pattern" from Valerie. After much to-ing and fro-ing I have now finished said chart and am ready to pass it on. So if you would like to stitch this chart please consider this,

"that you are a person with an active blog and is well known in the blogging community as being a good exchanger"

If you think this is you then please leave a comment on this post only to be considered as the next stitcher. I know a lot of you that read my blog have already stitched this but hopefully there would be someone as it would be a shame for it not to continue. Please make sure I can reach you by email/profile. I will announce the next person on the 30th December 2013.

Well I suppose you want to see what I did .....

 Count Your Blessings - Shakespeare's Peddler.

40ct Cream Newcastle Linen.

My conversion:

S'mores = Crescent Colours Caterpillar.

Midnight Sky = Weeks Dye Works Seaweed.

Cabbage = GAST Grape Arbor.

Red Delicious = Weeks Dye Work Bordeaux. 

Haystack = DMC 782

Campfire Ashes = DMC 840.

The only ones I did use that were mentioned on the chart were GAST Grape Arbor and DMC 840. All of the others were substituted to colours that I thought were similar to the chart. Of course I haven't a clue how I'm going to finish the piece, but I did want to incorporate the gold fabric in some way, which is why I tried to match the door and windows.

Before I go can I just thank you all for the wonderful comments I received about the framing. I'm thinking of hanging the 3 LHN / CCN projects in my "craft room/office" and the Drawn Thread piece may go in my bedroom.
