Got a bit burned out on my monthly SALs, so I decided to start something new from my yearly goals and bucket list - Etude aux Fraises by Veronique Enginger. I'm stitching on cream Belfast, but the photo is pulling a little bit pink and I don't feel like opening Photoshop to fix it, so imagine. :)
And here's what the final project will look like (which is a far more accurate represention of the color of my fabric and threads!):
So this is a relatively small start for now, but since I've been more focused on writing than stitching lately, I won't complain too much. And it's nice to stitch something with plain DMC rather than worrying about variegated threads. :)
Unfortunately, the chart is in color, which is making it hard for me to keep my place (I like highlighting on a b&w chart) but it's not bad since there aren't too many colors in this design.
Not sure what my next update will be... probably more strawberries, though!
Gorgeous design and great start!! I love VE's designs. Have fun working on this one :)
