The Blues


This piece suffered, too, when I was at Seminar. I worked on it again last week, though, and you can see there are more blues on it now. It's gotten a bit more done since last week, and I hope to get to it once more before my husband takes pictures on Saturday. He's gone until late Friday night on a business trip, so I have more stitching time. I still like the look of this a lot. It's one piece I haven't gotten tired of working on - after a year and a half.

Frogging and Progress

This week I had to frog all the gold braid inside the arch. It was off by one stitch too low. Fixed that and added some green, including on the second arch. It's coming along, and I should have the first arch done in the beginning of October.

Flagging a Bit


This got put aside a bit when I went to Seminar, but I've made some progress. I worked on it last night, too, so it's farther along than this. The flag is definitely beginning to take form, and the stitching is relatively easy with large blocks of color. I'll be working on it more once I catch the round robins up - I need to finish it in time for Timothy to frame it by April. Anyway, it's a nice project that's not giving me any problems so far.

Another Round Robin


Another one that's just -not- to my taste. At least it should go quickly and I will have it out by the end of the week. Maybe I can begin catching up on these round robins. Right now, I have two more in queue after this. None in the mail this week. Anyway, I've never even heard of this set of cartoon characters or whatever they are. The colors are certainly bright, though.

Dense Blackwork


Looking at this picture, I realize how very dense this particular band is. There's just so much that nearly everwhere is covered. No where for the eye to rest. Haven't gotten to work on it since I went to seminar; I'll probably be able to today. Perhaps I'll learn not to tackle so many big projects at the same time.

Eric the Half a Bee


This is my other class from the ANG Seminar - Flight of Passion from Meredith Willett. I'm one of those people who like to complete one thing before going off and doing something else. With seminar classes, that's impossible and resulted in Eric the halfabee. He's my first ever piece of turkeywork, though! I think I'm going to finish the flower before going back to him.

Huswif Finished

I added the beads around the edge today, so I can call this -officially- finished. I think the beads look good for this. It counts toward my project challenge and now I am done, done, done with that designer.
