Light Colors


This week's progress is a bit harder to see because the colors I mainly used were light. You can see some against the flagpole and farther to the left on the skirt.

Twining Some Tendrils


Got some more work done on band seven this week. I used medium green because I thought it stood out more. It's coming along and work will accelerate this week once I've finished part eleven of Totales Mysterie.

Starfle Me


More slick thread to work with, and more string art. I got both sets of starfles done this week. Not sure what I do next. I just -hope- it's not more of the Edmar. That stuff's hard to work with. I'm going to have to do some repair work when I'm done with this. My puppy Mattie dragged it off my desk and managed to break a couple of threads on the crescents on the band above. She's getting into everything, and she's tall enough that nothing's safe.

Three To Go


Three more letters to go, so five done. Nothing spectacular to talk about, just progress this week.

Third Corner Progress


The third corner is coming along pretty well and is about halfway done. These corners go much more quickly than the gardens of part three did. I've decided to get rid of the lazy daisy stitches and do back stitches instead on the vines. The lazy daisies just aren't standing up very well. That'll be done once I have all the cross stitch done on this part.

Still Bordering


I'm still working on the top border of the eighth band. The soysilk is still shredding in single plies, so I'm having to take it really carefully. On the other hand, it's over halfway done.

Spring Flowers


I've completed my first motif for Ann K's favorite things block. She wanted flowers, so I gave her flowers in three different styles and added a few insects for good measure. I'll be doing a seam next.
