Growth rings and gentleness



So I've been working on my Gentleness sampler a bit, but had to frog one whole side so put it down for a while. generally easy to stitch and pleasant colors. Of course I modified it, I centered the top line.

I've started one that I've been excited about; Growth Rings by Ink Circles. I absolutely love it! I got the pattern from JCS magazine. I'm stitching it on a smokey blue/gray hand dyed linen and I'm stitching it with Threadworx fibers. The thread in this pic is called Rocky Mountain and is a combo of blue green and purple. I love the effect and not having to change colors all the time is very soothing to me. The magazine version of the pattern does have several errors in it, but the designer has done a very easy to use errata, so I'm having no trouble with it. It's been fun to stitch.
