Filling in Corners


Finished up the second corner's braiding and started on the third, then did the jessicas on the upper corners. Lots of stitching on this band, and I haven't even gotten near the middle yet.

Still no K

Plugging away at this; almost halfway done with the name. The design sheet is huge, so it's funny to see the actual stitching so much smaller than it. That said, it looks like a much bigger project than it is.

Stuck on Blue


Instead of working part three's specialty stitches, I decided to finish up part two first. It's -all- blue. I've got almost all of the second corner done and added a rectangle and a half to the bottom part. I'll get there. These corners aren't very big.

Roping It In


I'm almost done with the seventh band now; as you can see, it's much smaller than the previous band (thankfully!). I think the perle I'm using is a bit thick, but it's coming along all right.

Group Start


This isn't in my rotation at the moment officially, but it's a project my face to face EGA chapter is doing. There are several kinds of crossed stitches and it's somewhat patriotic. It's also small, so it should be a quick stitch. What I did here was done in two hours during the meeting a couple of weeks ago. I hope to finish off these stripes before the next meeting a week from Monday.

Part Five Well Begun



Part five is mainly these two scrollwork bits. They have some backstitching and a couple of cross stitching inside, so they should go easily and quickly. I hope so!

Not My Best Work


I made two mistakes on the border early on and didn't realize them until I was nearly done, so they stuck. This is my May ornament for my ornament a month - yes, I'm very behind. I'll be keeping it, since it has those flaws. Otherwise, I like it. This also counts as the second finish in my project challenge. I'm adding Poirot, one of Jim Wurth's dodecagon series, into the rotation as this one's gone. It's an ornament too, so it'll be July's. From what I understand, the dodecagon ones work up fairly quickly... we'll see.
