I feel doomed not to start Bagatelle.
First, I ordered 32 ct lugana for it from Silkweaver, fabric arrived, but was paler than I expected. Much paler.
I sent it back, asked for recommendations for other luganas that might work, got linens recommended instead--at only twice the price!
After a day of emailing, gave up, got most of my money back. Ok, back to shopping again.
I've used Dark Green Teal linen from Zweigart before, it's a bit darker than I really wanted for this project, but closer than the other fabrics I found.
Looked around, got a great price on it from Wyndham Needleworks. Today I get an email, it's on order, will be a delay before they can ship it.
ARGH!!!
I had hoped to start this as my reward for finishing St Sylvestre, but it seems that I am doomed not to get this fabric until at least a month afterwards!
I know I have lots of other projects going, and they are moving along. I just wanted my "birthday present to me" to be, well, on or near my birthday! lol
