I have been thinking about The Workbasket's <a href="https://www.stitchingbitsandbobs.com/cgi-bin/Store/showimage.cgi?TheWorkbasket0QuakersEvens1000"> Quaker Evens </a>. I really like the October one with the acorns, but I couldn't find a suitable fabric in my stash for it, so I came up with this. I like the way it turned out:

<br />I want to use <a href="http://crescentcolours.blogspot.com/"> Crescent Colours </a> German Chocolate cotton hand dyed floss for the piece as well:

<br />I think it looks suitably fall like. :) Well, I need to get going. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! :)

My last post was on 11.03.2010. Wow. I suppose this is what happens when life gets in the way. I finally managed to get around to dyeing more fabric. This time it's for the <a href="http://heavenandearthdesigns.com/"> Heaven and Earth Designs</a> message board Storykeep SAL. I chose the Treasures SK for my part in the SAL. I have to post at least 3 pictures in my relevant SAL group before January 7th, I will be sent the other three charts towards the end of January. I can't wait to get started on it! :)<br /><br />Here is the fabric that I dyed. I wanted something other than white, as there are a LOT of stitches of just white for the background. I am seriously contemplating ditching all of that white, because there is about 2-3,000 stitches of just plain white. Ugh. NOT looking forward to that at all! So, I decided that instead of stitching white on white, I would stitch it on a turquoise colored fabric and this is what I came up with:<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2261116400102547422HsXTqD"><img src="http://inlinethumb35.webshots.com/46370/2261116400102547422S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="062211 Fleur de Luce Hand Dyeds Bahama Breeze"></a><br /><br /><br />I think it came out great. I wish I had had some opalescent to dye, but then again, it may not have come out this color. Ah, well. More's the pity, eh?<br /><br /><br />Well, I need to get going. Lots more to post on my <a href="http://archangeldecker.blogspot.com/"> main blog </a>. <br /><br /><br /><br />Thanks for stopping by! :)<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br /><br />Respectfully submitted,<br /><br />C.ArchangelDeckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00470693171781707533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104032010712400943.post-3166686060585432442010-11-03T15:27:00.000-07:002010-11-03T15:33:35.425-07:00Storm Clouds<span style="font-family:verdana;">Here is my latest hand dyed creation. I dyed this specifically for a certain project in mind. Took quite a bit of time to get it to where I wanted it, but all in all, I am very pleased with the results.<br /><br /><br />Here is the latest, called Storm Clouds:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2580284180102547422mmhUZM"><img src="http://inlinethumb29.webshots.com/44764/2580284180102547422S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="110310 Fleur de Luce Hand Dyeds Storm Clouds 001" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Here is the project and the floss I will be using with this fabric:<br /><br /><br />Prairie Moon's For Thine Is The Trick And The Treat:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2027836690102547422CYmQdH"><img src="http://inlinethumb32.webshots.com/46047/2027836690102547422S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="110310 Fleur de Luce Hand Dyeds Storm Clouds 002" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hand Dyed Fibers Old Maid Of the Abyss:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2530190360102547422ByNmKY"><img src="http://inlinethumb34.webshots.com/47585/2530190360102547422S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="110310 Fleur de Luce Hand Dyeds Storm Clouds 004" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I think I did ok, don't you? :)<br /><br /><br />Off put the first stitches in!

It's a 28 count Monaco and I picked out a lovely shade of purple to dye it in. I was torn between that and doing another piece in the Guinness Foam Cream. I really like the way it turned out, although, I need to go purchase some more fabric to dye! :P<br /><br /><br />Here is my latest creation, Majesty:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2858823120102547422gwhnxl"><img src="http://inlinethumb02.webshots.com/46913/2858823120102547422S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="082710 Fleur de Luce Hand Dyeds 002" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I am torn about what to stitch on it. I have a project in mind, however, the floss tosses could not be more different! I am wanting to stitch Carriage House Samplings 'Quaker Alphabet Sampler' on this fabric, however, I am torn between a monochrome and using up to four different colors. Here are my choices:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2868673220102547422uWxeWl"><img src="http://inlinethumb36.webshots.com/45475/2868673220102547422S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="082710 Fleur de Luce Hand Dyeds 006" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />With just the Threadworx 1082 Cabbage:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2296229480102547422srVkzw"><img src="http://inlinethumb23.webshots.com/41110/2296229480102547422S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="082710 Fleur de Luce Hand Dyeds 004" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />With DMC B5200, 742, and Needle Necessities 1442 Witches' Brew. I am also thinking about throwing in some DMC 310 with these colors, however, I would have to stitch some of the motifs in the lighter areas of fabric so that the stitching will show:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2578909370102547422YeDNgq"><img src="http://inlinethumb18.webshots.com/45073/2578909370102547422S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="082710 Fleur de Luce Hand Dyeds 003" /></a><br /><br /><br />I would LOVE to have folks' opinion on this! P:)<br /><br /><br />I need to go for now. I have some chores that need attending to before I get to play. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! :)<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br /><br />Respectfully submitted,<br /><br /><br />C.<br /></span>ArchangelDeckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00470693171781707533noreply@blogger.com2
