The almost true exploits of an intrepid spinster and her stitching...and all of the things that make up her crazy, happy, quiet little life.

HAPPY MAIL!
More Christmas presents arrived today! You know how much I adore Laura J. Perin, so getting her Christmas Panel and Holiday Wreath kitted up and on deck is making for a very very happy Monday indeed!
Everything LJP does is lovely, in my opinion. I think I like the Charistmas panel better of the two pictured. However I will enjoy watching the progress you make on whichever you choose. You are doing so well. Hugs!
I just taught LJP Christmas Panel at my local ANG chapter (Chicago ANG)this past weekend. Be very careful, the pattern is full of mistakes. I would suggest you baste from the center to the top and center to the bottom, and center side to side. The first note she says to count up 163 threads to start where the arrow is on main graph. That is wrong, only count up 150 threads. It is wonderful and even more beautiful in person. Have fun.
Beautiful... Coni, you are absolutely fearless in the face of complexity... these measure up to it... Isn't Beth a treasure to hoist the red flag? Wish we all had such a mentor to forewarn us on some patterns... Have a great day.
Ooooh....pretty! I really like the wreath. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThey are both lovely....
