I was digging around in the stitching room last night and found another long-lost WIP. Several years ago, I was at the LNS and saw a wreath decorated with stitched bulbs. Of course, I promptly decided that I had to make one, too, so I bought the ground fabric, Congress cloth, and the fibers and all the other stuff and started stitching. This is as far as I got.
I think the Congress cloth is 24 count and I think that's why these never got stitched. Pulling the Rainbow Gallery fibers through 24 count Congress cloth is a bit, ummmm, challenging. Not enjoyable. I really like the colors and the fibers, though, and I think I may have some 18 count canvas around here somewhere, so maybe if I did that out and start all over, I may have more success. Here are the colors; aren't they gorgeous?

Oh glad you enjoy your guy. I can't wait to see more of Christmas Light Bulb. The colors are beautiful. ~ Dawn ~
I love the story of you and Greg...it just goes to prove that if people are meant to be together...it will happen.
These bulbs are going to be awesome when finished. If you don't want to put them on a wreath, you could always back them with felt and put them on a tree.
