Swan Stitch-A-Long for 2014
Fall is here, and it is time to announce our next Swan Stitch-A-Long. We want to thank Linda Schmunk for leading our SAL for 2013. It was “Past and Present” by Rosewood Manor. She did a fabulous job encouraging us along, and it is such a gorgeous piece.
For 2014 our SAL piece will be “Emma Rose Friendship” by Tree Of Life Samplings. The stitch count is 230 x 130 and the pattern calls for NP Silks (there is a DMC conversion), and 40 ct Lakeside Vintage Buttercream Linen. The NP Silks called for are: 202, 206, 207, 208, 222, 225, 226, 301, 303, 325, 332, 473, 663, 664, 692, 766, 767, 851, 957, and 993. I am thinking about using a comparable overdyed silk for the solid yellow house and the solid brownish/red house next to it.
If you know me, you know that I really love patterns with houses, and I also love the “friendship” theme in this beautiful piece. I will probably add some initials to my piece, of friends that have made a difference in my life.
We encourage you to buy your pattern and supplies at your local brick and mortar Needlework Shop when possible, to support our local small stores. If you have any questions please email me at brendastitch@mileshouse.org
