computer I can click on the photo on the desk top and on the main menu at the top of the computer in Preview I go to Tools,
Adjust Size put pixels at 75 and Size at 70 percent and that works for me too. HelenW

Hey everyone, this is my first time on the Forum. I was looking for a road trip project, when I found Alex’s embroidery class. I have been doing a lot of wool embroidery, but have not really worked with silks except for a sampler crazy quilt. Joining late and under a time crunch I dug through my stash and found several silks I bought years ago and forgot about. Below is my progress to date… I love the modern layout combined with the traditional stitches…having a blast…

I’m really late to the party on actually doing something on this wonderful project. But, last night and today I carved out some time to piece together my background. This silk I purchased from Sue Spargo and is in various pink tones. Pleased with how this turned out given this was really the first time using my new machine since I purchased it last January(?)—or any machine in over 3 decades!
Now the fun begins! Looking at this, it screams Easter to me so I’m thinking about adding 1 inch wool circles and doing heavy embroidery on those with seasonal animals, flowers, bugs etc., drawing inspiration from SS’s Toned Down Sampler.
Hope people continue to post their beautiful stitching while this slow poke tries to catch up.
ETA: Did my first of ~30 1 inch circles. In case you are wondering: First whipped stitched down circle using Ellana wool thread. Flower is using Eleganza #5 perle cotton threads for colonial knots and palestrina knots (stem), #8 for chain stitch.Last edited by Carole B.; 12-28-2021, 09:24 PM.Carole B. aka nhbaskets

looks wonderful. The pinks are so soft looking. Easter is the perfect theme for those colors. Thanks for sharing you thread choices.I
I love it when TQS members give a little background along with the photos. I know you must have a monster Thread Stash. How is your fabric stash??? The new BOM is just around the corner. HelenW
