January 16, 2017

Today was an extra day off due to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. A day to remember a great humanitarian who effected change through non-violent demonstration. I hope as we move into a new era in the United States, we can remember his example.

My project for today is from Cross Eyed Kat. I don't know that I've seen many patterns from her. I think I bought this chart in Plano, TX but I'm not 100% sure. It's the first of her Mini Impressionisms series. I don't know if Kathryn ended up designing any others or not. 

Anyway, I really like the look of this project. It's Texas Wildflowers. It's just a sweet little pattern that shouldn't take too much time, although it does have quite a bit of confetti stitching. You'll see from my WIP that I've only stitched all of one color. It's spread through quite a bit. I have also added a little bit of two other colors but still have quite a bit more to see any real progress with this one.

I'm off to discover another project. Hope you're all having fun finding things in your stash as well.

    1. Thanks, Tiff! Something about it calls to me. I just can't explain it.

  2. It reminds me of a tapestry William Morris might do. I love his designs, and the whole Arts and Crafts style--furniture, wall coverings, lighting, houses, I'll take it all!

    1. There's just something peaceful and serene about it to me. I do want to get more stitching time in on it soon. I think it moves fairly quickly when I do work on it.
