Happy Fall Y'all!

Spoiler Alert....I'm not good at Blogging!  Ha!  I update on Instagram fairly regularly, but can't quite get into the routine of updating here.  I apologize.  

Yesterday I  managed to finish the stitching on Sophia by Summer House Stitche workes:



I was not 100% happy with the finish. I used the called for colors of DMC on white 14 ct. Aida.   Nothing against the design at all, it needed something. So, I steeped a 1 gallon tea bag in 1 cup of water and poured it over the piece.  Then dried it in the oven:
Much Better!

 I made some lofty goals for October.  I'm going to work on Green Damsel by Ink Circles, Autumn by Mirabilia,His Name , 2017 Linen & Threads Mystery SAL & Start Bountiful by Trilogy for the instagram #turkeysal.    Feel free to follow me on instagram, @farmboyslove  

So far I'm managed to start & finish Bountiful: 
Chart called for 2 orange pumpkins


I've made good Progress on Green Damsel (my conversion), but failed to take a photo.  I'll work on it over the weekend and see how far I can get.  It's finally feeling like Fall around here, so I'm off to enjoy the weather. 

 Until next time, Stitch on!  = )   Pam

    Your tea-dying on the first piece was a great idea and made a ton of difference. Congratulations on finishing both pieces! Enjoy your stitchy plans for October!
