WIP Wednesday (lemmy.world)

Seems the fun WIP Wednesday names didn't take off so back to the regular post names.

With last week's finish I got to start my new project! I'm super excited for this project. Trying out my Q-snaps and grime guard for the first time also. It's full coverage and about 20k stitches. I'm doing 2 over 1 on 18 count Aida.

I'll get back to the Mondrian project at some point.

Hah, don't abandon the cause so soon! We could have a lovely community full of not the exact same post title repeated a thousand times, you just have to believe ๐Ÿ˜‚

That pattern is so pretty, but yeah, filling in all the sky is going to be quite the task! Love stitching in blocks of colour like that though, and it'll be a nice break from the confetti at the end of your last one.

That's fair! It's going to take more that one post to change the tide. I'll see if I can come up with something better for next week!

I am also a fan of large blocks of color as evident from my posts. Knowing that not every stitch needs to be perfect like on a sampler or something like that helps a lot. I'm still a very new stitcher and still learning how to keep things neat what better way to practice then with some large blocks!
