The hand embroidery for the November goddess of the month is complete, she has been washed and dried but still needs to be ironed.
I love how she turned out and the expression on her face is just perfect for Baba Yaga. I need to choose which goddess will be for December.About two weeks ago while scrolling through one of the hand embroidery Facebook Groups I found out that Anchor embroidery Floss was available on spools and was being sold at Joann Fabrics so you know I had to make a trip over to my local store to see if it was available, it was so I happily chose 20 spools.
These are 6 strand floss with 10.9 yards of floss selling for .75 cents per spool. Well this weekend Joann's is having the Doorbuster sale and the spools are on sale at 5 spools for $2.00 or .40 cents each so off I went to Joann's first thing this morning and bought 55 more spools.I originally tried to buy them online Friday night however you have to buy a minimum of 2 of each color you choose which I didn't want. Now you might think ugh plastic spools, and them eventually in the landfill but I use empty spools for other crafting projects and haven't thrown away an empty spool in years.
I bought the color in Cedarwood, below are all 12 colors in the collection, they are on sale at Joanns too.I'm linking my post today at Kathy's Quilts https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/2021/11/slow-sunday-stitching_0702395746.htmlI also picked up another skein of Lion Brands Skin Tone yarn for a project I have in the making.
