A Changed World

 Liz mentioned in a comment that I had stitched a piece . . don't even know what the word is here . . not as a reminder of the pandemic but kinda therapeutic for what we were all going though at that time. I think Denise stitched it along with me - A Changed World by The Scarlett House). I believe we started it August 1, 2021 and here's mine finished.

I hate to admit this but it still isn't framed. I ordered a frame right after I finished it and still haven't framed it. I need to get that done. Maybe I'll get it framed and hang it side by side with Seeking Refuge.

Seeing that A Changed World has "Worked by my hand in the year 2023, maybe I should leave that on Seeking Refuge too. I'm glad Liz reminded me of this one.

Seeking Refuge Started

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:

1. 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.
2. Do the same with the green that's above the black.
3. Stitch the verse/letters.
4. Stitch the green design below the house.
5. Outline the house, roof and windows. Then I can go back and fill in without having to do much counting.
6. 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 this year . . you know how those goals go!
