The designer of the month for February in the DotDotGoose Discord group is Erin Elizabeth. I had several charts in my stash to pick from. I decided to stitch the charts in the Lavender booklet. Fabric: 32 ct. antique white lugana. Called for DMC flosses stitched 2/2. I will also be stitching the Lavender Honey chart on the Market Fresh sign and the Bee-scornu.
Hooray! It's a finish. I completed the last of my Cricket Collection seasons series. This is the Summer one. I hand dyed the fabric from a white 28 ct. Brittney Lugana, so I especially love it. I wish the photos would accurately display the fabric colors, but here are all 4. Ready to FFO!
These have been among my favorite stitches. Complicated enough to keep you interested, but each motif finishes so quickly you just want to keep going.
One of the only downfalls is that they typically use a lot of different floss colors, but they don't use very much so it's a great project to kit up from your stash.
I hand dyed the fabric myself. My fist time, I might add! LOL! I dyed 28 ct. Brittney Lugana that I purchased from Herrschner's. I used RIT dye and mixed my own color combinations. I think I got pretty close to the color on the chart picture!

Stitched on 32 ct. Belfast linen in platinum that was tea-dyed

I'm loving all the specialty stitches.
