I've started the January Flower and have planned on sewing each month's flower onto an afghan made from monk's cloth. Progress so far - I've prepared the monk's cloth by using a straight stitch about an inch in from the edge - removing threads to create the fringe ,washing and drying it. It will shrink so if you decide to go this route. I would suggest getting maybe 8 -10 inches(or your best judgement) more than your actual size for an afghan.This piece before washing was a yard and a half.
January flower - progress

Sept. 12th 2016---Thought I would post an update since the last 2 evenings was spent replacing all my photos on the blog and removing link pictures that no longer showed up in the community and my profile. Hoping everyone has had a good stitching evening :) Happy Stitching ~ C's Cross Stitch Creations

Looking forward to seeing your progress on the SAL. If I didn't have so many pieces going at this time, I'd join you. I'm determined to finish all that I've started before I start another new though.
ReplyDeleteHope to become good friends. You stitch beautifully.
Thank you Miss LindaLee. It is perfectly ok that you can't join at this time. I may have another sometime next year if I can find anything interesting :) I hope that we become good friends as well. Happy Stitching!
