Adding in the Flourishes

The extra filling in the middle, with the thicker thread, is coming along pretty well.  I'm thinking three to four more stitching sessions, and I'm done.  It'll strike one of last year's starts off the list.

Over the Hafway Mark

Done with the twelfth and on to the thirteenth.

Crazy #15 - Blues in the Night

This is the beginning of a petite project from the Embroiderers' Guild of America.  It's a fairly complex needlepoint piece, and, of course, I'm not doing it in any of the original colors or threads.

TAST Week 3 - Feather Stitch

Some of the samples in Sharon's post for the feather stitch reminded me of the grape vines surrounding this city.  So, I made some!  Feather stitch and French knots.

Crazy #14- Tu Es Unique

This has been sitting in my stash since my last trip to France.  Time to get it started, especially since it's a pretty small design!

Difference in Speed

It looks like part six is going much faster than the second half of part five.  I'm thinking I should probably work more on five and less on six at this point....

All The Way Across

I managed to get all the way across the width of the sampler.  Now to go back and fill in the bottoms of the swags.
