Stitch Maynia 2016 - Day 7 - Celtic Autumn - Lavender & Lace - 07.05.16

If you haven't heard of Maynia before please see my post from 1st May - don't want to repeat myself everyday and bore everyone..

My day 7 project is Celtic Autumn by Lavender & Lace

This is a picture of the chart:-


I am stitching this on 28 count Brittney from Jodyri Designs in Misty Morning Sun.  I am stitching 2 over 2 in the charted DMC.

I nearly made a HUGE mistake when I started this.  I always start my projects in the top left corner.  So I measured out the border and started stitching.  Got a little way along and notice on the chart that it had the mark indicating the centre of the chart.  Thought it was a bit strange as I was only about 30 stitches in so looked again at the chart - then realised the border doesn't start right at the edge of the fabric because when you get to the bottom the dress comes out from the frame.  Thank goodness I noticed when I did otherwise I would have got to the bottom and had to leave off a huge portion of her dress!

Here's the picture of the progress I made today:


Keep stitching and smiling
