A New Start of Biblical Proportions

Several weeks ago I kitted up a new start! Books of the Bible by My Big Toe Designs. I am beyond excited to have a new start, a bigger design than ones than I've worked on for the past couple of years. It's got lovely words = fun to stitch, sampler properties = fun to stitch, 3 colors (well, actually 4, cause I'm adding one) = fun to stitch...who could resist?


I had to finish up a couple of other things I had going but on my last day off work, I gave it a few hours:


I'm loving it!!! DMC, 1 over 2 on 32 count Legacy Lugana by Picture this Plus. This fabric is awesome and I haven't stitched with one thread in a while and I'm thrilled with the look. Gosh, I'm gushing!

Please nobody point out the unfinished projects still in my left sidebar. That would be rude. Y'all just plan on burying me with my unfinished stuff or it might not ever get done!

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Isn't it wonderful to be so excited on a new start? :-) Luvin the look of the linen you chose and looking forward to seeing more of this piece! I've been in a "long term sampler project" kinda mood as well....just trying to decide on the "perfect" fabric....lol!

Lovely to have a new start that you are so excited about! I do find that stitching with one strand seems to be much quicker than with two for some reason. No railroading or twisting threads I guess.

Beautiful start! You will get to those other wips someday, don't even worry about them :)

A new project is sometimes the best thing to get the creative juices flowing and some good progress made, a nice new start.

Who doesn't love a new start! They always make a person happy.

I don't know anyone who would be rude enough to say 'hey, what about that pile of WIPs over there?' LOL

New starts are great, aren't they? I've had two new starts in the last few days. Enjoy your new project!
