On September 15, I started Seeking Refuge by The Scarlett House. I think there were a number of stitchers who started this in the last week or so. I already had it kitted so I went with the floss (all called for) and the linen (40 count cream by Zwiegart) that was in the bag.
I'm going to love stitching all of this - nothing that's confetti like or frustrating for me. The black on the bottom and the green above it will get a bit boring so I started this at the bottom, instead of at the top right where I normally start.
My plans are:
- Outline the black area, stitch the leaves and some flowers that are in the black area, then I can go back and fill it in without having to count.
- Do the same with the green that's above the black.
- Stitch the verse/letters.
- Stitch the green design below the house.
- Outline the house, roof and windows. Then I can go back and fill in without having to do much counting.
- Stitch the trees.
There will be some things I leave off. As much as I would love to have Oscar and Cooper on there, I don't think I'll stitch the dogs. I'm not sure I'll stitch the birds at the top of the two trees.
Not at all sure but at this point, I think I'll leave off initials, year, flowers, birds . . we'll see when I get there.
I have a goal to have this finished by the end of those year . . you know how those goals go!
