Starting Over

I was not satisfied with my progress on Lavender Moon or QS Storykeep Masquerade so I started them over.  I was stitching them over one with two threads.  I thought that the stitches were too bulky.  So I am now stitching one over one and love it!  I think that was why I couldn't keep my interest in stitching them.
So here is my start on Masquerade.  I will show an update on Lavender Moon soon but waiting for new fabric to start stitching that.  I will also show one over two to show you the difference.  Beautiful work everyone! Happy Stitching!
Over  one using two threads

It definitely looks much better with 1 thread, I always find 2 to be a bit too bulky as well.

I think it was the right decision to start over, these projects are very time intensive and if it doesn't feel right it'll be a real hardship to finish.

I look forward to seeing future updates :)

Agreed! Looks much better with one thread!

I agree with one thread as well! That's how I do my own and I think it looks great. Nothing worse than bunched up stitches.
