Hello again. I didn't quite expect to be away from the blog for this long, but it appears time has gotten away from me.
In July, I started a new project. I was inspired by a color conversion I saw on FrizzyLizzyStitches' Flosstube #61. However, I chose a different pattern. It's not that I don't like the one she's stitching, but it's big, and I decided on something smaller. I picked Patriotic Quaker by Primrose Cottages, and went off piste on the colors, using FrizzyLizzyStitches' palette.
So far, I've completed one star motif. I think it would make a nice ornament on its own as well. But, I want the whole pillow too, and I'm not about to stitch it twice, so I will continue stitching the rest of the design.
Sharing with the Smalls SAL hosted by Rachel at the Ten Hour Stitcher, even though this pattern overall is bigger than my definition of a small. But, Rachel says a portion of a big design counts as well, and this project has a theme of going off piste anyway, so I say one motif is a nice delineated small portion of this pattern.
