Always Thankful

So yesterday I wasn't clear enough with my new start Always Thankful. It's done on 40ct gauze. It seems more stiff but the holes are actually really easy to see. The idea is to stitch it over 1 with 1 thread. The finished pieces are very tiny and adorable. Since it's so little you just do a half stitch instead of the whole X because it wouldn't fit to do the whole thing on this material.

Evidently at one point I thought it would be fun to try so I bought Always Thankful and it just sat there. I was nervous to try it. When I attended the PALs Retreat the designer Erica Michaels was setup. I was glancing over the gorgeous little tiny pieces and realized who it was. She had two ocean related pieces so of course I had to get them. I asked some questions and it finally made sense. Still made me nervous but it at least made sense to me finally haha. Last night I got a start so I could share the details better...

So the whole design finished is going to be 2.9 inches high and 2.3 inches wide. But there is 115 stitches high by 93 stitches wide. The tiny T is 14 across and 13 high and yet it's still smaller than a dime.

I'm excited to say I loved it. It's not near as hard as I was worried it would be. I probably won't be very fast after each little part I just sit there and stare at how tiny it is haha.
