LaDDa ABCD Finished!!!

I finished the LaDDa ABCD pattern! 
The fabric is 32ct Antique Gold by Silkweaver Fabrics.
Threads used were GAST Brick Path and Forest Glade.
I replaced the center motif on the bottom with the year.
The weather here today is not very good for taking photos, it's very dark and dreary.
 
 
 
This was a fun and fast stitch.  I really love the variegation in the Brick Path thread!
Thanks to Peggy Lee and Jennifer for organizing this!

Next up to receive the pattern is Robin of Crafting With the Stitch Witch
I hope to write my journal entry tonite and then get everything in the mail to Robin tomorrow.  Can't wait to see what everyone else does with the design!

Thanks for stopping by!

Congrats on another completed project. I just came across your blog from Stitch and Sparkle, funny to find that you were on of the ladies that Peggy met up with on her trip. I've been following her adventures in stitching and work for just a little while. Small world. Looks like y'all had a great time.

Keep on stitching.

Oh I love that Antique Gold fabric, it's perfect for a Christmas tree I'm going to stitch for Christmas. Is the photo a true reflection of the fabric colour? Lovely finish btw, I've long admired this design.

I absolutely love this piece! Since I am partial to all of the beautiful colours of autumn, I love the combination of the beautifully muted gold linen, coupled with those wonderful overdyed threads. You have done a beautiful work of art!
