Making the Big Diamond

Time to square this up and finish.

 

Diamond Square

This is now all done. I think it came out really well. All the blue tones down that golden square so much. 

 

Little Squares

Four little squares done this time. The row I am working on marks the middle of the piece. So much progress.

 

Silk Shading Course

Since I had to cancel going to Hampton Court for classes this year, Andreas got this for me as a consolation. It's the online silk shading course. Now I just need time to do it.

Working On The Big

I get to a new part of the flower. These are the bigger petals. Coming along, coming along. This is also in my air cargo wending its way home.

Crown Of Petals

More petals done on the flower on the left, and, since they're the top ones, they look like a crown. It's getting done slowly.

Starting A Stem

Now the flower is done I'm starting the stem up above it. I've stitched quite a bit!

One Petal

I've got a lot of work to do on one of the three large flowers in this piece. But it's coming along pretty well.

Working On A Flower

Time to work a flower. This one has a woven edge, and I completed that. Now onto the insides.

Birdie's Tweeting

All but the bird's feet are done. Those will have to be stitched later, after the curlicue is done. I think he looks like a pretty bird.

Adding Feathers

I've been adding color to my birdie!

Pretty Birdie

I now have a brighter bird.  It's coming along.

Tree Of Happiness Kit

This is from Tatiana Popova, and the class started this weekend, so I need to get cracking on it.

Received In October

 I received this wonderful kit when I got to Kosovo, but I have been far too busy to do much in the way of stitching.  I really want to do this cube!  I have a lot of days off starting today, so hopefully I will be able to start.

Goldwork!

Yay!  I get to start some goldwork.  Jen Goodwin is teaching it for the CyberStitchers chapter.  The kit is beautifully packaged.

The Last Egg

I really didn't like the looks of the seventh egg, so I went ahead and stitched a second version of the first one. I think it came out well.  There will be a charm in the middle when I put it together.  This means I'm done with all the Ukrainian egg ornaments!

Lines And Squares

I finished up the sixth of seven egg patterns.  This one is a bit yellow to me, though it's not as yellow in person.  It's also a really bold and graphic design.

Quilt Square

This fifth Ukrainian egg design looks more like a quilt square than an egg.

Bold Square

This is the fourth of the Ukrainian egg squares.  It's a bold and very orange design.

Third Egg

I am all done with the third of seven egg designs!  These are working up pretty quickly.
