Prep #1

Started the daunting task of gridding the fabric and I’m extremely relieved to say it will fit!!

Not a lot of spare fabric at the top and bottom so I’ve decided in the far distant future when it is all stitched to turn it into a wall hanging.

I am now rather cross eyed from all the counting so before I make any more mistakes I’ll leave it there for tonight, I’ve discovered a really brilliant way of marking the grid using a pilot frixion pen, it completely disappears with heat so a little iron and voilá the marks have gone!

Time for sorting silks tomorrow and to find a reasonable online shop to get the colours I haven’t already got in my stash, little did I know when I collected them many years ago they would be put to such good use and thankfully I’ve kept them dust free and away from sunlight so hopefully any new silks will colour match with the old.
