Okay, I’m being really bad right now. I have WIPs that I should be working on, but I seem to have a serious case of startitis lately. Do I care? Not really. It’s about time I work through some of this stash. 😆
I am finally about to get into my kit storage box because I made Terry move his model boat that was sitting on top of it. The thing weighs a few pounds and is pretty fragile, to boot, so it’s been keeping me from fondling my kit stash until now. I pulled out a hardanger kit from Nordic Needle – Flower Garden. I love the colors in this and ended up getting in on sale a while ago. I started it on Friday and by Saturday night, I had all of the satin stitched motifs finished. Now I have to do some eyelets, chain stitch and lazy daisies before I cut and weave.
In addition, I bought some used charts from Mel and they arrived last week. So, on Saturday, I decided to start stitching on one of the Elizabeth’s Designs Little Leaf Designs named Betsy’s Butterfly. I don’t have enough to bother scanning it right now, but it should be a pretty quick stitch. You’ll see it soon. 🙂
Finally, I tried hand-dying some fabric using the squirt bottle method suggested by Meari (smart cookie that she is) some time ago on her blog. They are all blends of pink, purple and blue, but the one which is predominately is my favorite.

The fabric looks great! I sometimes get startis too-that is a pretty piece.
Love your fabric dyeing Jenna. How about selling some on your shop? You’ve probably considered the idea already. 🙂
Your hardanger kit is exquisite! Love it, my friend. Hope you and Terry are feeling better 🙂
Pretty project! I get startitis a lot… Your fabric looks great… any special plans for it?
Ooooo… your fabric came out so pretty! I agree with Isabelle, I’d like to see some of that fabric at OSL too! And your hardanger start is gorgeous.
I’ll third the idea of selling some of your dyed fabrics in your online shop – I would love to have some, if you could part with it. 😛
The hardanger is lovely too, I love the colors.
I love the Harganger!! Great job with the dyeing:)
Ohhh, I love the hand dyed fabbies. They are lovely colors.
Your hardanger piece looks lovely. Your fabrics are to die for, will you be selling them on One Stars Light.?
