This is the first SAL post of year 2014 and I did really hope I will bring you a greater progress of this piece. However, I regret to tell you that I do not have much done this time (only about half a page done).
I will be completely honest: I am short of DMC 938 and therefore unable to keep stitching. If you have (or you will) a diagram of 'Autumn' in your hands, you might notice that this color is used almost everywhere, as many as 3371. It means, when you ran out of it, you're finished Lol. Well, I can just move on stitching other colors first and come back fill in the blank when my supplies come. But I feel incomplete by doing so, as I want to show you guys a neat image on each post. Good news is I did ordered the floss last month. Bad news is it will take a long long time to reach me. Why? Because we are buried in snow storm the whole month, like 15 inches deep. I think this is the toughest winter in the last 20 years in America (if you read the news!). So I will completely understand if the postman wants to wait until the snow is melt...which is hell know when.
OK, so back to the main thing, it's picture showtime. This is what I stitched before running out of 938:
I hope you enjoy it and please leave comments below, I'd love to hear from you!
And don't forget to visit Pull the other thread's blog for her update this month, which surely will be a pleasure to see.
Happy stitching!

Still a beautiful piece. I never have a neat finish as I stitch cross-country. I envy those who do!
ReplyDeleteThanks Justine! The confetti holds me back sometimes (frogging) so I have to make sure I do not leave any unstitched spot in the block. Otherwise, I will never remember its existence! lol
DeleteWow!!! This is looking fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteOh thanks Mii! You're always my biggest cheer leader!
DeleteIt is looking really great! I hope the thread arrives to you soon! x
ReplyDeleteI do really hope so Emma! Hopefully can get some stitches done before next post!
DeleteWe are having a heatwave in Sydney, I'll send you some sun to melt the snow so your postie can get to you. Autumn is amazing, I'm always enthralled by your wips. Good job!

I want to fly myself to Aussie!
DeleteAnother amazing update. I don't know how you are stitching this so quickly. This one is turning into pure torture for me :S
ReplyDeleteHoney, I do not feel that this is quick stitching, maybe just because I have more free time than you have. Talking about torture, it is exactly what I feel with Dandelion Clock Dance right now. Do I want to finish? yes. Can I stitch faster? Pure pain. That's why I never finish it. lol
DeleteStunning! You can almost feel the warmth of the fires
