Rounding Out the Robin

I found a suitable alphabet to fill in the big blank middle online a while ago. It was from a French site, so it was perfect. As you can see, I started it and got two and a half letters done. I'm using Vikki Clayton's Russian Sage premium floss. I like the way it blends with the other colors on the piece.

Brown and White

Small bits of the flag are done, but the major work this week was the skirt. Completed an oval outline of light yellow and made some brown stripes. Goes fast when you work on it daily and there are big, easy blocks to stitch.

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.
