Day 2 of Magical Color with Jennifer Riefenberg. Remember yesterday i wondered about people only buying one of the two colorways? Well I mentioned it to Jennifer and she said once people get to class and see how the cool and warm canvases work to tell the whole story, they usually buy the second one and Jennifer brings extra ones. Smart!

Kathy Rees headed out early but I got our comparison photo before she left. Hers is on the left and mine on the right. The red thread on the third row really contrasts on mine and looks like it changes color from red to orange! If I wasn’t stitching these, I would find it hard to believe.

I got my 3rd row done on my warm canvas. I spent time color matching Waterlilies for the 5th row. By working with longer strands, I could complete a square but got a few knots that took time to loosen and only got one motif copleted on the 5th row.

I will definitely work through all step 1 stitches before adding more to them. It’s quite interesting seeing these develop.

An excellent event once again. Thanks to everyone who made it happen.
