Here it is! Day one progress on Drawn Thread's An Open Heart. I am using Legacy Linen in Cafe Au Lait and it is gorgeous to stitch on, a beautiful hand feel. I am also using the recommedned Needlepoint Inc silks so this is a real luxury project.

It took much consternation and many visits to the fabric calculator at Dragonflydreams before I cut my fabric for it. I counted, re counted and then counted again to ensure I started in the right place, and I managed motifs 1-7 last night. I've had this chart for a long time and I never really looked at it to see just how much WORK it is :) The colours also look much nicer in real life than in the chart photo.

This was really nice stitching time for me. I have a couple of days off work so will focus on this for these two days as then it will probably be only Sundays that I get to work on this one.

I have heard from Carol this morning and had a look at her progress and we look like we're making a similar rate :) Kaz is busy this week with guests...I'm sure we will hear from her soon ;)

I'm off to walk my pooch who is feeling a little neglected lately - the weather has been atrocious so she hasn't been getting her two walks a day....
