A Bit of Wheat

I added a couple of wheat ears and have all of one row left on the skirt.  Yay.  Progress!

Still Going

The Lady's skirt is almost done. I'm feeling this project is dragging at this point, but with all the travel, I haven't been able to do much stitching. Maybe once I settle in in the new house, I'll be able to do more with her.

Lady's Back

After being stuck in unaccompanied air baggage for six weeks, the Lady's back and being worked on.

On the Border

Still working on the skirt's border.

No Banner

This week, it was back to the skirt.  I did some filling in on the sides and on the ribbon, so hopefully it'll be complete soon.

Back to the Skirt

Several little areas of skirt and banner got filled in this session.

A Banner Week

I got more done on the banner this week.  There's a bit of skirt that I managed, too.  I'm in the home stretch, right?

More Banner

It's such a relief to do something other than the skirt!

New Phase Started

I feel like I'm really making progress!  I started the bottom banner this stitching session.  Beginning this area makes me feel like I'm finally getting out of the skirt bog.

Little More Glitz

Although I put in about three lengths of floss, the only part that truly shows up is the braid on the lower right.

When...

am I going to be done with this skirt?  It keeps going and going...

Tired of the Skirt

I know I am very close to being done with it, but I'm getting very tired of working on the skirt and getting so little done on it each time.  It's my fault, I know.  If I worked on it more at a time, I wouldn't feel this way.  I am, after all, about 80% done with a very big project.  I should be proud of my progress.  Maybe I will be when the skirt's finally done.

Where the Charity Hearts Go

I just got notice the other day that one of my hearts was put into a quilt.  These are the hearts designed by children.  You can read about it here.  It's all in German, though, so if you don't know the language, here's a link to the translation.  They're always looking for stitchers if you're interested.

A Finished Heart

The heart's all done and in Germany now, ready to put into a quilt for a sick child!

Slowly I Heart

Still just progressing...

Half a Heart

Well, a bit more than half, actually.  Anyway, getting closer to being done.

Creeping Along si

I seem to be done with the skirt itself pretty much - finally.  Still getting kind of sick of golden brown, but it does look good.

A Bit More Heart

I started in on the colors this week. 

Charity Heart Start

I'm doing another heart for Hilfe fuer Kranke Kinder.  This one was drawn by Sophia.  I hope to have it done in a few weeks.

Yet More Skirting

Still all brown again this week.  Some more of the ribbon and some of the skirt got done too.  I -am- working on the bottom skirt border at least.
