New Start!

 Had to have a new start!

 I have had the chart for Turkey Bay by Plum Street Samplers on my mind for awhile now. I first saw it on Flosstube, watching Liz and Deb on their lovely channel, Country Stitchers. (Link to their channel is HERE ) HAD to have that chart! It's been difficult, trying to hold back and wait until I had a finish so I wouldn't add another project to my rotation. But then the crazy startaholic side of my brain said,"START TURKEY BAY!" So I did!

 Here's what Turkey Bay looks like when it's done:

 And here's my start:

My tremendous start

  I like to start from the middle. Not always, but I find it makes it easier to gauge if I have enough fabric for finishing on all sides. I think I'm on the pumpkin in the middle of the boat; which is a gravy boat. How cute and clever is that!

 And since I had a new start,I thought, why not try a new to me technique of holding my floss? I saw  Stitcher211 on Instagram( Mary Lang, link to her Instagram HERE ) and Lorrie on Flosstube ( her channel is "Mischievous Stitches", HERE ) making these kinds of floss tags. They are so fun to make. Choosing the paper is super fun too.

 Can't wait to stitch on this one again! Really looking forward to stitching the gravy boat.

 The fabric I chose was 28 count Ivory Zweigart, and the floss is the provided DMC conversion.

 Thank you for stopping by and reading about my stitching.

 See you next time and happy stitching!
