Stitch of the Month 2015

Posted on December 22, 2015 by marydellisanti

I’m making progress on Ruby Razzle Dazzle. The smyrna ribbon outlines are complete and I’ve started working on the star points between the oval petals.

The instructions say that you’re supposed to put in the star points before the ribbons, but I gave up because I could not figure out how to orient them correctly. It was much easier after the ribbons were done.

And although I never seem to finish anything, I am looking forward to starting SOTM 2016. See everyone soon!

  Thanks! I’m sort of so-so on them because blue & red on a gray canvas feels a bit patriotic. The colors and threads I picked are mostly from one of Ann Strite-Kurz’s colorways, but I opted against the pink canvas. We’ll see if it gets even more patriotic as it fills in more.

    I think the gray is a far better idea than the pink!
