WIP Lady of the Flag

I am going to try to give up crocheting for cross stitching for a while.
I was able to purchase the Mirabilia's Lady of the Flag chart when it was re-released earlier this year.
I am stitching this on Picture This Plus fabric (Jay).  I was thinking of stitching a conversion that was done in blues but the fabric is really too purple to look right with the blue floss color changes so I am stitching it with the original floss colors.
I have decided I do not want to use the beads so I made the following substitutes for the beads:

MH 02001 → DMC 3047
MH 02019 → DMC 30745
MH 02022 → DMC 5283
MH 03015 → DMC 35200
MH 03050 → DMC 5279

I still want to stitch the blue conversion but I have not decided on what fabric to use for that and I don't know if the beads will work with the conversion - I am not going to puzzle over that while I stitch the original colors.

Finish Temp Blanket #2

This one turned out to be 39" x 72" so I wish I had started with a little bit longer chain.  Of course I would not have had enough of two colors of the yarn so I think it has turned out to be exactly what it was supposed to be.
Have a wonderful week of stitching.
