Thanks again Chookyblue for taking this on. I cannot wait to start this new stitch-a-long. I have chosen the same fabrics as Pia - Inkwell Reds, but I am using a DMC variegated 6 strand cotton floss no. 115. Do you think variegated will look nice? My stitchery fabric is a cream dot like the one shown in the pattern.
It is freezing here in Leaskdale, Ontario, Canada and I am sitting by the fire with peppermint tea about to start tracing stitcheries so as ready to go March 1!!!
Am also in the process of quilting my Gardner's Journal quilt and will post that when it is done.

hey Lori......another great selection........will be interesting to see yours and Pia's when you finish since your using the same fabrics....... variegated will look nice .........
sticking hot here at my place......over 37deg cel
I like your choices Lori. I was looking at red & white & variegated thread too but keep changing the selection so who knows. Like Chooky, it is warm here too, only about 30 but feels warmer. Tea by the fire with snow outside sounds great right now. xx
Lovely fabrics Lori :-)
I wasn't quite sure about 815 when it was lying there among the fabrics. I might need to have a look at 115 and see if it fits better.
It's freezing here in Denmark too, about 15 degrees but a sunny sunday morning.
Hugs Pia
I like your choice of colours but advise you to prewash your thread. I have found it tends to run the colour a little. cheers jude
I love your fabrics. Still have to buy mine yet before I choose my red thread so better get a move on.
