Matching Up

I started part three and it seems to be matching up with what I did of part two, so I'm a bit less uncertain now. I'll complete part three before finishing off part two. The colors seem to be blending well with the fabric still.

Not Quite There


I actually finished this thick band after the picture was taken. I feel a bit bogged down on this project and it's not really exciting me at the moment. I think it's just because I'm tired of that band. Maybe when I do the next, things will perk up.

Can't Cock This Up


Yep, the latest round robin I'm working on is roosters! It's not too big to do one rooster, at least, and it's coming along fairly quickly. I'll have this one out the door by the middle of next week. It's on Aida, but at least the cloth is soft and easier to work with than some. Having it as one big piece helps, too. For some reason, I have a hard time working on small cuts of Aida.

Bluer than Blue

Guess which color I was working on this week? It's coming along pretty well, I think. Looks like I'll have the top half of this corner done soon and will be able to get the bottom half done. I still really enjoy working on this every time I do.

Pottering Along


I managed to get all the pots done on the first arch and start those on the second this week. All that's still needed in the first one is the gold curlicues. Making progress, for sure.

Drawn Thread


I've made some progress on this. It's just wrapping, and to me that's not really stitching. All those white canvas threads need to get covered. Fewer showing this week than last. I should probably just sit down and do it one day and get it done.

Dazzling Stairsteps

It looks like the next few things I'm doing on this piece are scotch and cashmere stitch rectangles. So far, I have most of the scotch stitches done on one side. When I work on it, it goes pretty quickly, and I like the colors.
