It seems that every time I get close to finishing a large project [in this case, The Goblin Market], I feel th need to start a new small.
So, I pulled this Morning Glory Designs complimentary chart,
Friendship is a Sheltering Tree, from my stash and kitted it up using 36 ct raw linen and most of the recommended WDW flosses: Blue Spruce, Chesapeake, Curry, Frosted Teal and Ivy. I lacked Camellia [Light Dusty Rose] and Romance [Dusty Rose] for which I will substitute some similar GAST cotton over dyed floss when I reach that point. At present, I am enjoying a stint of over one stitching using the two blues to create a shadow effect. The full title sentiment will take up the bottom third of the design and the pink flowers will complete the arch of the two trees.
It is a simple yet pleasing design with a motto that is not overly sentimental. It'll work up nicely as a gift bag to hold a Christmas gift for one of my fr.ends
