Letter C by Nora Corbett32 count Waterlily Belfast w/ recommended Crescent Colors, Kreinik and Mill Hill Beads
I left the photo uncropped so you can see the color of the fabric a little better. Against the cream fabric chair(to the right), you can tell the fabric is a soft green in the photo above. I am so thankful this pattern didn't call for a ton of beads but they do really add to the piece. Letter C has a ton of fractional stitches. After backstitching, there were still 3 or 4 gaps so I had to go back and add some more quarter stitches to fill it in. Pain in the bum! Not to mention dealing with the YLI invisible thread. My eyes aren't what they used to but I was determined! lol
Letter C and another little giftie will be on it's way to Jill soon to see what kind of magic she can work. I am so excited to go back to selfish stitching! I only have one more committment for the year and it's a small and I figure I can start it August 1 and give myself the rest of July to do what I want. It will be a welcome reprieve after everything.
I'm off to watch August Rush (Jonathan Rhys Meyer = drool) and either stitch, read or crochet. I have lots more to talk about but will save it for later.
Hope you're all enjoying the weekend!
Until next time...

Huge congratulations! What a gorgeous finish! I just love how it came out! I'm not one for fractional stitches or beads, so I won't be stitching this one. But I'm sure glad you did so I can see it! Can't wait to see what Jill does with it. Cristina will love it!

Hope you have a nice weekend. How is crocheting coming along? I am making a shawl for my Grandma. I have a heck of a time joing new color/yarn. But practice makes perfect right?
