Tulip & Star by Blackbird Designs
Unknown 32 count linen from Silkweavers
Various overdyed fibers
I finished up Tulip & Star last night, now I just need to find time to make into the pinkeep as suggested in the booklet With Needle & Thread.
I started working on my Ink Circles Mystery last night - part 3. Hopefully I'll have that finished today so I can start on my Papillion Creations Mystery. I'm really short on funds right now so I won't be able to purchase any linen for the projects I have lined up so I'll make due with what I have on hand. It should not be a problem as I have several yards of assorted 28 to 32 count linen and around 20 packages or so of fat 1/8's from Silkweavers. I really want to start to work on Medallions by Rosewood Manor using my custom spool of HDF silk. Since I have a ton of white 32 count linen I ordered a new color of dye from Dharma Trading Co. called Mink Brown. It's sounds perfect and just what I'm looking for - something around DMC 838, 840. So hopefully next week sometime I'll find time to dye a piece of linen for that piece. I really do love to dye my own linen. It's always an adventure. Until that is ready to go and when I finished with the two mystery projects, I'll pick up St. Reatham. It's been several months since I got to that piece. And I can't forget I ordered VWX from the Drawn Thread - it should be here soon. And then I'll only have one installment to go!

Very pretty! I can't wait to see the results of your linen dying.
I realised the project you were doing from your last post, but now you have finished it, it looks amazing. Hope you manage to get it made up OK, look forward to seeing the finished item.
