This week I had a Guinness.
What I liked: this is a very stout beer. They are not joking in this regard. It had a good strong flavor and didn't seem to be practically watered down like some beers seem. This is a good beer to take your time with. What I didn't like: it was almost too bitter for me. I ate a little bit of the refreshments, which helped tone it down a bit. This definitely isn't a beer that I would be able to drink quickly. This is a beer that I would have to be in the mood for.
Here is my stitching of this one:
Here is my overall progress (of course excepting the one bottle near the bottom by itself):
So neat how you are doing this one. I am stitching this (or not so much since it hasn't been out in forever) for my hubby. I want him to collect the caps on the beers to put around the frame when/if it ever gets finished. Your idea is neat too.
ReplyDeleteThis one has been a lot of fun, just finding the beers to try and stitch! I knew from the beginning that doing it this way would take a lot longer to finish, but with each beer it is a mini-finish. Plus, I get to try a lot of beers that I normally wouldn't bother to try.
DeleteIts looking good Sasha. I have the fabric cut but have never started it.

It looks great Sasha! I know another stitcher who stitched this up and when she framed it she bought a frame with a larger border and glued some bottle caps from as many of the beers she could find to the frame. It turned out pretty nice.
