This is the last planet that I need to stitch. Beyond that – there is a comet and a number of floating chunks of this and that. It should be complete by the end of the week. Then I need to pick up Libra.
With Chart #4 in the Fabulous Houses series just released, I decided that I should go ahead and just start the Greenhouse (#3). The fabric is Zweigert’s Vintage Stormy Clouds in 18ct. I am using the same fabric for all of the houses. It has left me with the dilemma of needed to make a color change or two. The called for 3865 just doesn’t show up at all, nor really does white. So I have substituted B5200 for those areas that need actually white, and went with DMC 002 for the outline of the greenhouse. This also makes a bit more sense to me since I think of old fashion green houses as having iron frames. And then there is the added advantage of showing up clearly…

As such patterns goes, this one is several thousand stitches smaller than the first two in the series…. Also part of my rationale for going ahead and starting it…
