Since I mentioned Jeff Kulick's new charted log cabin piece this morning, it seems like a good time to recommend you also go visit Orna Willis' blog to see her newest charted project which is underway. Right now Orna is trying to explain what she did, which is a lot harder than stitching! It looks like it is going to be a great design, though, and worth all her work.

UPDATE: A little more progress....

More Reasons To Hate Jeff Kulick
Labels:
2012,
counted canvaswork,
Jeffrey Kulick,
Scarlet Thread,
Woodlawn
Reason #1 Jeff is wildly talented. He not only designs original pieces that are knockouts, he also stitches them beautifully.
Reason #2 Jeff has just released a new design, his blue ribbon winner from Woodlawn last spring, "Deconstructed Log Cabin," which is just what it sounds like--a small section of a log cabin quilt pattern (lower right corner) surrounded by expanded sections of the pattern, all in greens and creams with touches of gold. Trust me, the photos don't do this justice.

Reason #3 I don't like counted canvaswork patterns but I am dying to stitch this in pinks, corals and oranges. Sigh. You are a very bad man, Jeff, to tempt me so.

Tracy Franklin's Goldwork Sampler
Thanks to Anna, I have a link to Tracy Franklin's goldwork sampler, which was published in Stitch magazine and is now a free chart on the magazine website. What is interesting about this sampler are the many different ways you can use metal threads that Tracy shows. If you are looking for something different, this will give you lots of ideas.
