I started it on December 21, 2016 and I finished it on February 14th, 2017 (which is just about the time I accepted the new position and went into OMG, we have to pack and move and get a new place, not necessarily in that order! overdrive ;)
I cannot, for the life of me, get my camera to take a color accurate picture, so you'll have to forgive and trust me on it. I've doctored them as best I can, but Aries is a cool toned, gorgeous rich red that was just perfect for this piece. I look forward to framing it.
I used petite treasure braid in gold (PB02) for the lit window (because Dracula would never use fluorescent lighting!!!) and the actual "Dracula" lettering, and I used the B5200 instead of regular white for the moon. The rest is black. I love the way it came out.
Thankfully, I keep a spreadsheet of the stuff I've stitched, so when my blogging fails, I can update myself :)
That is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThis looks gorgeous. I love the Sparklies fabrics and your stitching is so neat, even in the gold lettering!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I always railroad/fuss with the Petite Treasure Braid to make sure it lays right; it's great to know it's noticeable :D
DeleteThat looks awesome! I am so glad that I enabled you to stitch this one. It's on my schedule for October for spooky stitching month!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I did catch it, and definitely had to give credit where it's due :) I look forward to your progress :)
DeleteThis is gorgeous, is there anywhere I can get this pattern, the original blog is no longer there?
