Taking Shape

You can see the outlines of more shapes - a bellflower that will be filled with beads and one of two bluebells that drape down a bit.  

TAST Week #8 - Chain Stitch

As I had already used chain stitch as part of my week two, I just did a simple chain of chain stitches....

A Third Color

I decided to add another color to my sampler because I wanted the lattice work to stand out some.  It's being done in Kreinik's silk serica, giving it a bit of sheen, too. 

Dead Tired of Red

I never thought I would be so tired of working with one color.  I am now, although the piece is coming together and looking pretty good.

No More Sky

I am now officially done with the sky!  I am also almost to the halfway point of the whole piece.  It's beginning to look real to me.

A Bit Of Midnight

This is Lyn's Midnight Fantasy Garden block.  Below is the same block after my work.  I tried to keep to dark colors and to add some lushness with beads.  I hope she likes what I did.

Quick Start To Finish

I found this little piece on the Stitch! website; it's called A Little Gem.  Took me less than a weekend to finish it, and of course I shopped my stash instead of doing their colors.
