Beginning the Pagoda

This is how far I got on our first needlepoint class. It's actually quite a bit.

 

Little Flowers Stitched

I have the flowers and part of one of the dogs stitched on this. 

 

Well Started

I have a good start on my needlepoint module. The subject is a Chinese pavilion in Lazienki Park here in Warsaw.

 

So Much Orange

All the middles of the little medallions need to be filled in, but this is getting close to being done.

 

Ready for the Background

All done but the background now. That's the quick part.

 

Shroomed

Time to make this into something round.

 

Texas Canvases

Time to start these. They've now been in my stash for nearly a year.

 

Adding Hearts

Almost done with the flag and started some hearts. Just need the finial and some more hearts - then time for the background.

 

Ukrainian Sunflower Canvas

Bought this at The French Knot while on home leave. I need to start it.

 

Working on the Caps

Going to get this done. First step is all that red on the mushroom caps.

 

Changing the Word

Changed the word her back to the original... Californian woke-ism by the designer. At least it was an easy change.

 

More Tent Stitch

I just need to finish this. I have more than half the background done now. The rest is easy.

 

America Americ...

Starting on the lettering.

 

Stash from The French Knot

When I visit Fort Worth, I have to go to this place at least once. It's tradition. I bought a new kit. I've done a similar one before; this has different flowers.

 

So Close But So Boring

I am so bored with this basketweave over the whole buckle that I pick it up infrequently.

 

Flagged, Kind Of

The red stripes on the flag are done, but nothing in the white yet. Instructions say to do all the things around it now, so starting with the words.

 

Stewed

This turned out a lot more uniform than I wanted. The squares have more variegation in person.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #10: Crystal Celebration by Kurdy Biggs

Found this in a NeedlePointers magazine. Will get to finishing it soon. It's a good way to use up some of my metallics.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #6: Chantilly by Lorene Salt

Well, you can see the back of my work on this one. Andreas took a picture of the wrong side. Oops.

 

Scotched and Stewed

All the squares filled and it looks like I have a lot more light green area than I wanted. Not going to bother to change it, though.
