On January 1 I started "Use it up" from Waxing Moon Designs' "Frugal Samplings leaflet. As you can see I was undecided about the color I wanted to use. I started with the lighter color but I wasn't happy with the high contrast look. The second color looks much better, I think.But now there's a slight problem with the linen. When I was ironing it for the photo it started to take on a pinkish hue--I have no idea why, unless the dye is reacting to the heat of the iron. So now I'm waiting to see what the linen does as it cools. (The pink discoloration is not really visible in this photo, but it's visible to the naked eye.)
Only time will tell if this project goes forward...or if it has to be re-started.
How about you? Did you have a January 1 start?

How fustrating. I have never heard of linen changing colour when ironed.
I like the colours that you have used so far and am looking forward to seeing this progress.
prefer the second colour too :) and the heat can change the fabric colour if you have had it on too high a heat .. should change back though :) love mouse xxx
