Spring Mystery Revealed

I finished the Spring Mystery from Tam's Creations on Friday. I think it looks really good. I've not decided whether to make it into a pillow or let my husband frame it. I only finished it a month after the scheduled finish. That's somewhat of a record for me. See the Stars is caught up and I'm working on catching up Zentangle. Currently, I'm back to two parts behind, but I'm stitching it today. All of these are through the German Marquoir group on Yahoo. I'd like to thank Elke and Susanne for obtaining permission for us to work on such great projects!

Getting Tire-d

Bibendum was one of the pieces I got to work on twice this past week. For some reason I stitched more on things. I got through my whole rotation plus again about half. Anyway, he's got both tires started now and the end is beginning to get obvious.

Green Swirls

As you can see, I did some of the lines and some of the egg again. I like the way the swirls look different from the side on the egg. Anyway, the big thing is progress is being made.

A Line on the Blue

I've stitched on this twice now. There are over forty points across - I think that's all the way around the bag. So far, I've found that I really need good light to work on it, but I like the feel and colors of the Tentakulum. I wish it was easier to find and had more colors.

Band Nine Done and Ten Started

I finished band nine this week - only bands ten through twelve to go, though band ten at least is pretty big. I've started the tenth band, and as you can see, it's a bit weird in design. To me, the top border looks like those aliens from Space Invaders. Anyway, it's good to feel this is progressing somewhat quickly.

Rita's Autumn Block Done

This was Rita's block before I started work. I also worked on her summer block in another round robin. I believe she's putting the four seasons together in one project.


So I did one biiig motif and a couple of seams. The motif is out of Appleton's wool and Sheep's Silk from Thread Gatherer. I made it a kind of leaf sampler, with leaves done in several different stitches. I hope she likes it.

Starred, Part Six

The next part doesn't come out until the first of July, so I'm all caught up with one of my stitchalongs. Yay! The blackwork on this is poorly charted and hard to follow because the designer picked the wrong kind of line to show it. That's the hardest part of the piece. I love the colors I picked, and I think it'll be very pretty when finished.
