[wip] Lughnasadh #1

cross stitch wips 10 July, 2006

My new current WIP is a wallhanging depicting the sabbats, taken from charts in Willow Polson’s book Sabbat Entertaining. I have deviated a little from the original for some of the fabric — I’ll be using combinations of black, pewter, celadon (sage), antique white and cream fabrics for the sabbats, so that everything appears a little more balanced… I hope!

I’m stitching this for my coven, and working at it in order relating to the time of year in which I’m stitching — so I’m currently working on the Lughnasadh square, which is the bottom left corner. It will eventually depict a loaf of bread with some corn. At four hours in, I’m up to here:

It’s worked on 18ct aida, which is the smallest I’ve worked so far — very much a case of being careful, as it’s easy to part threads and make your own holes. But I’m getting there. The only real problem was that some of the floss colours have been discontinued by DMC, so I’ve had to colour-match to the closest available equivalents. Here’s hoping it works…
