Project Update: Monogram & Crown
A few weeks ago, I shared the beginnings of this project, where I was test stitching the design with floche to see how well I’d like it.
The final conclusion about the floche for this particular project: I liked it, but I didn’t love it. It wasn’t delicate enough. The design is fairly small, and it was difficult to get any nuance of shade with the floche, which is a slightly heavier thread compared to one strand of cotton (or silk) floss.
I decided to go with silk, since I already had the quantity I needed in the colors that I’d use.
Now, this is a project I’m just working on at home in the afternoons when I have stitching time. While I don’t have a deadline on it, I’d like to finish it pretty quickly so that I can move on … well, you know how it is! … to another project.
