Artisan Crafts / Needlework / Cross Stitch & Embroidery

This is the 6th UFO I have completed. It's Maria van Scharrenburg's "water" themed embroidery: seashells (pattern id: 8475 F / 4915 E). It's 8 x 8 inches / 20 x 20 cm when completed and I had partially done the largest shell of the pattern before I set it aside sometime before October 2000. I can place the date so well as I'd kept the kit in it's original package and it had dog hairs in it from my last dog who died in October 2000 but it didn't have dog hairs from the dog I looked after for over 6 months in 2001.

If you wish to see the project as it progressed please wander over to my blog and check the September blog posts.

As I mentioned in my journal here the image on the kit package is not the same colour as what I ended up with - I'm really rather disappointed as I bought the kit because of the greens and browns shown and wasn't expecting blue and pink shells. As I really rather dislike pink I'm less than happy with the result despite it being a decent pattern and if I'd known it had so much pink in it I wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

To save on searching for it the image is here:

The pattern itself is good, easy to read and the kit included plenty of floss to embroider with - I could probably manage to do most of a second version with what's left but I probably won't.

This is adooorable! I see what you mean, with the colors being more "harmonious" in the picture, but in the actual piece it works well with the blues.

Lovelovelove embroidery and needlework. Beautiful!

Thanks! Yes it was a bit of a surprise to see it end up like this - but well.. the end result is ok

Thanks!

It still turned out very nicely

Now ON TO THE FISH!

=Magical525 Sep 18, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Yes it did

I decided I needed a "new project treat' and inspired by the lovely biscornu's you and your friend made I decided that making my first one would be a good small treat for me

*Mattsma Sep 18, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

YES!!! They are so quick and fun and that feeling of gratification really sticks with you

AND you can look at it lovingly while you finish your fish

=Magical525 Sep 19, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

I've finished the first side and have it on my desk.. it's so pretty

I'll be using it to park needles with the thread still in that I need in a moment I don't really want to stick needles into the heavily embroidered mini pillows I have made so that's why I wanted to do one of these
