Meme's Quilts - Rooster Strut

Design: Rooster Strut
Designer: Meme's Quilts
Threads: DMC
Fabric: 10 count Tula

I should have pressed this before I took the photo - let's say it adds to the rustic charm, okay ;o)

This stitched up quickly, as it was done using three strands of floss on 10 count fabric, and I left off all the back stitch outlining - I don't think it needed it, and it's not something I enjoy doing.

I'm going to make this up into a little pillow - any excuse for a trip to the fabric shop :o)

Update

My camera batteries are flat - again - so I can't show any pictures at the moment. Not that I could for one project anyway, as it's a return exchange from my last days as a member of Crazy Exchange :o) I finished it as a pinkeep, and that's the only clue I'm giving ... so that was last night's creative endeavours.

Sunday, as promised, I started a SAL with Sally. We're stitching Morning Song by Just Nan. I've chosen to do mine on a plain linen - Flax 28 count Cashel. I managed to stitch most of the right hand barn, the picket fence and the tree trunks - seems straightforward so far, although I haven't attempted the over one parts yet!

My travel project is currently Rooster Strut by Meme's Quilts (who no longer appear to do cross stitch designs, only quilting and applique). I'm stitching it on Tula, which at 10 count is quite a change from my usual stuff! It was one of the first folk style charts I traded for on Chartswappers so it's been sitting in my stash for quite a while!
