OK, so this month is supposed to be an event where you stitch something that starts with the letter of your name....and it turns out K is actually harder to find something than you would think.
But me being me, ended up with a uh... side project...that has nothing to do with the letter K at all.
Whee?
Anyway, Geranium is now finished too!
And I hate those green beads with a passion not suitable for words.
Stitched on 'Cook Straight' by Countrystitch, 32 belfast linen.
This was my trial piece from Countrystitch, to see what it was like.
PROS:
- Very fast turnaround (it was posted within two days, and over Easter holidays no less)
- NZ company! (Yey for Kiwi's!)
- Very nice customer service, and prompt with it too.
CONS
- Dye spots on the fabric. Yes, I could have complained and returned it, but a) that would have meant more time and b) I actually kind of liked the effect.
Final verdict so far - undecided. I need to buy another piece or two from there before I decide officially, as I don't know if the dye spots are a one off event, or not.
But it was a beautiful colour, and bought out Geranium's colours beautifully.
