Green Squares

When looking at this picture versus last week's, it took me a minute to see the progress. You'll be able to see a -lot- more with next week's picture. There are several squarish areas bordered with pond scum green floss. Those all got done on the garden this week. There was also some filling in with dark blue, making the garden look less naked. It's getting there. I'll definitely finish off this area before the end of February.

Arches and Columns

This week I got the columns and arches started. Surprisingly for how big this band is, it's going quickly. I'll be introducing another turquoise-ish color in this band; it will be the last color used. I haven't put a deadline on this piece, since I missed the turn in date, but it's going to get done, and at this rate, it'll be done by the end of the summer.

Goals Progress

No pictures this post, just an update on my goals. I posted them here in December. This month I finished six projects, including one UFO. One was an ornament, which means I'm on track for that goal. I did a project for the Take It Further challenge too, so I'm still on track with that goal. Crewel Choices is -almost- done and will be finished tonight or tomorrow, which means within a day of its deadline. Go me! Medieval Town Mandala is showing good progress, as is the Midi 2. I -should- be able to get them done on time. I still have yet to start my husband's stocking or his Bibendum. Soon. I'm happy with the progress I've made so far, even if January is a long month and I have more time to complete things during it.

Greener and Golder

Just as the title says - I added more gold and more green this week. I hope to finish this part by the end of February, and I look to be on track to do it. For some reason I find this piece somewhat tedious to do, but I'm happy that the progress being made is so good.

UFO Be Gone

I started this a couple of years ago. Piecing's always easy for me; it's the quilting part that bogs me down. Two of the rows of triangles were already quilted when I picked this up last week. At the time of this picture, the third row is halfway done. Since this picture on Friday, I've finished it! Not only is the quilting done, but it's bound up and completely finished. Now to figure out what to do with it. It's about the size of a placemat...

Halfway There

I've reached the halfway mark on this corner. Yay! The upright is done and I have the lower part started. Lots of added gold this week; that and one color of blue. I hope to have this part totally completed by the end of March. It's still thrilling to work on, and that's what's really important when you stitch - to enjoy it.

Light Stuff

This week, I added a lot of the lighter colors to the right side of the Lady's skirt. Because it's so close in color to the fabric, it's somewhat hard to see. She's armed now and I'll be working a bit more on the flag in the week to come. For some reason, it's easier for me to see progress when I work on that. Anyway... back to stitching.
