Pay It Forward - Free Stuff

I posted about these on Vikki Clayton's forums, but someone wanted pictures. I really didn't want to have to scan them in just for that, so I did and put them here for others too. First asked, first given. I'll even plump for postage in the States and, depending on what you want, to other places. Just email me if you want something.

Edited 7/7 to add: New Stitches and Tiny Tim are taken.














































Eight of Twenty Done

I finished up the eight set of four squares yesterday. The pattern's definitely emerging, but I have no clue what that claw-looking piece in the middle's going to be. Round nine doesn't come out until the fifteenth, so I'm actually all caught up early for once.

Much Slower Now...


Surprising how a piece's progress slows down so much when it's not the only thing you can do on a several hour plane trip. I did get more done, though, and I expect it completed by the end of the month.

Cobbling It Together


I got home so I picked up a couple of my pieces that didn't go with me. Got some more of the border done on Cobblefield Road this week, and there's only one more (huge) middle band to go on it after another row of starfles. I like the way it's looking but did need the break from it.

Done Being Crewel

I finished the stitching on Fair Maiden! Now all I need to do is get batting and make the project case out of it. It was a rather quick stitch when done, and I think it'll go over well when I teach it. I like the colors I chose for mine, too.

One Color to Go


I'm down to the last color to cross stitch on these plaques. I feel like I'm making real progress again on all my current projects, and just maybe I'll have this one done by the end of September.

Tuscan Filling


I managed to work more on this in the past couple of weeks. I'm getting closer to the finishing part three, finally. Maybe by the end of July I'll start working on the corner bits of part two again. I can hope.
