All Creatures Great and Small
Thursday, May 02, 2024
This project is a little bit naughty! I have quite a few projects already going, but my dear friend mentioned that she was working on this project. I went to visit her the week between Christmas and New Year's and she was sharing with me the cross-stitch and quilting projects that she was working on. She showed me "All Creatures Great and Small" by Barbara Ana Designs. I just fell in love with it, especially when she said that she was working on it during her time watching the show on PBS. I loved that idea. My husband and I have been watching the TV show since it was first introduced on Masterpiece Theatre, and I read the book long ago. As I drove home from visiting her, I was thinking how fun it would be to do the same. The thought of stitching "All Creatures Great and Small" while watching the show seemed so cozy to me. Almost immediately after I got home I ordered the pattern and linen. I went to a local craft store chain to purchase the DMC floss. Buying the threads at the store and also winding all of them on thread cards was fun. I also purchased a new storage bag and needle minder and thread holder since it is such a big project. I thought it would be fun to have some new accessories for it because I do think that this project will take along time. I really love the project bag. It was advertised as being a needlepoint project bag, but it fit the thread cards perfectly for cross-stitch and was only $15.99. It is such nice quality, and I put some little pins on it. I think I will probably work on this project even when not watching the show, as I am quite excited about it.
