Well, I got hold of Marj at Hinzeit and found out what the 'error/miss-print' was in the Charmed Shuttle-Believe pattern I'd stitched. I did mine on 28ct over two. You think I would have also gone to her website and looked under corrections, but no .. that would have made sense and I'm just not that kind of stitcher. If you have not yet stitched any of the Charmed Shuttle designs, please note: FABRIC IS 18 CT AIDA: SUMMER KHAKI !!
I WILL stitch this one again, but am thinking of stitching it differently thanks to Petra Dennis from NM. Petra had sent me an email with the photo attached of the "Believe" she'd stitched. Yep .. she did hers on 28ct too, only to find like I did, that it wouldn't fit the Shuttle frame.
She says:
"I found a piece of an overdyed blue--about DMC 926--just the right size in my stash and set to stitching. Got it finished and started to put it in the shuttle, and it was too big. So, another discussion with LNS owner and I decided to unstitch the end sections and make the snowflake sections curved, and that fit. No stars but you can't have everything! I love it."
Petra .. I love it too! I've now got a couple of colors of 36ct Linen coming, one from Lakeside Linens and the other from Picture This Plus to play around with. I showed your pic to another stitcher, and she wants to see my colors of 36ct linen when it comes in so she can do her's like you did .. but WITH the end sections stitched.

Deb, I happened to be in your shop on Friday and had the opportunity to see your stitched piece and it is so pretty! Looking forward to seeing how you decide to finish it and the fabric that you decide to restitch the design on.
