The travelling Pattern.

Finally! I finished the Summer Garden project!

Summer Garden, by Little House Needleworks

Stitched on hand dyed aida
Started on October, 26th
Ended on November, 3rd

I used DMC color variations for the big flowers. It was the very first time using those flosses I've got from Nia. I used some marble Anchor colors I had too. I dyed a little piece of aida using black tea...never did that before.

Thanks a lot for all the help about stitching the flowers. I don't know if I did it right but I tried my best.

I decided not to stitch the frame because of the passe-partout I'm gonna use. 

Now I'm ready to pass it to another friend together with some goodies just as Sarah did with me. I can't wait to find out who will be the next one to have this Summer Garden project. If you're interested, all you have to do is comment on this post. I'll pick up the winner next weekend, so...hurry up!

XOXO, Isa.

Finalmente! Terminei o projeto Summer Garden!

Usei meadas color variations para as flores maiores. Foi a primeira vez que usei essas linhas que havia recebido da amiga Nia há algum tempo atrás. Também usei linhas matizadas da Anchor. Tingi um pedaço de etamine com chá preto, nunca havia feito isso antes.

Obrigada a todas pela ajuda com as flores. Não sei se está certo mas dei o meu melhor.

Decidi também não bordar a moldura de flores pois usarei um passe-partout para esse projeto.

Agora estou pronta para passar esse travelling pattern para uma amiga juntamente com alguns mimos assim como a Sarah fez comigo. Se você está interessado, tudo o que tem que fazer é deixar um comentário nesse post. Vou sortear a ganhadora na semana que vem então se apresse!

Beijos, Isa.

Summer Garden project..

Hello my dear friends!

First of all I wanna show you how I ended up with Soda SO-3125 project. I sent as a birthday present to a very special friend in São Paulo. It took a ride with another friend 'cause I was kinda scared of sending it through mail service. My friend Paty took a picture of it in her new home..I must say that I was very proud to see that she loved her new framed Soda.

The second thing is that I'm having problems trying to stitch Summer Garden. I really have no idea at all about how to make three flowers. Can someone help me?

It is taking too long for me to finish this project because I have no idea about the colors I'm gonna use..so, I keep testing colors all the time. I was stitching it on linen but I decided to start all over again with aida.

I think I'm gonna use dmc color variations for the other flowers, as I did with the pink one. What do you guys think?

Hope to show you more soon!

XOXO, Isa.

Olá amigas queridas!

Primeiramente gostaria de mostrar pra vocês como ficou o projeto Soda SO-3125. Mandei de presente de aniversário para uma amiga mais que querida em São Paulo. Foi de carona com um amigo pois  fiquei com medo de mandar por correio já que a moldura é grande. Minha amiga me mandou uma foto de como ficou na sala de sua nova casa. Fiquei orgulhosa de ver que ela gostou do presente.

Outra coisa é que eu estou tendo um probleminha básico para bordar o projeto Summer Garden. O problema são três flores diferentes que eu não sei fazer, será que alguém poderia me ajudar com isso?

Estou levando muito tempo nesse projeto pois fico sempre testando as cores que vou usar. Estava bordando no linho mas acabei deixando de lado e comecei tudo de novo no etamine.

Acho que vou usar as color variations nas outras flores como fiz com a flor rosa, o que vcs acham meninas?

Espero mostrar mais progresso em breve!

Beijos, Isa.

It's done, finally!

SODA SO-3125
Stitched on 14ct Blissful Sky marble DMC aida
Started on September 1st
Ended on September 18th

It is not framed yet 'cause I'm still recovering from the surgery. I can't go out and this is driving me crazy! It is so boring staying home with nothing to do and watching people doing things for me, I really hate.

Yesterday I received the travelling pattern from Sarah and she sent me some goodies too! So sweet! Thanks a lot my dear friend! I'll try to stitch this on linen or Jobelan but the thing is that I have no idea for the colors I'm going to use for this project. I'm not a creative person.

I like the colored floss she gave me and the card is lovely too!

I'm writting this post in english. I have to practice more. I used to speak and write perfectly in english 'cause I spent a while in the US but it was a long time ago. I'll try to write more posts...it's a way I found to learn again what I forgot during the past 15 years without speaking this language. Forgive me if I wrote something wrong :) I have been learning a lot with the new followers I've got and the new friendships I'm making in here.

XOXO. Isa.
