On The Second Square

The second square is well begun, yay!  The border area is very finicky and takes a long time.  Because I am using such a high count fabric, I'm going to ignore the little crosses inside the diamonds.

Yay, A Bit Of Color

I've made enough headway to get some wine in my glass.  I'm happy it's going quickly-ish.  I've been working on it daily.

Trims Indian Style

I found a sari trim shop in Bandra, close to where I was staying in Mumbai.  These trims are what I narrowed down to buy.  The shop was packed with all kinds of trims.  It was great.  I could have bought a lot more, but was frugal.


Printed Pieces!

Yay, I now have some Trish Burr I don't have to trace out!  She's making these available in her shop, and, for me, they're so much easier.

Light Pansy Color

This is the beginning of a bouquet of pansies.  Unfortunately, they're way too light to make out yet.

Four Points

This is the first Kathy Rees kit where I have pulled out my own thread for the first part.  The directions called for using the blue parts only of an overdyed cotton, but the blue parts were tiny.  So I substituted my own blue.  I hope the rest of it doesn't keep on the same way.

Last Two

These are the last two of my Texas series needlepoint kits.  Now I need to free up some stretcher bars and make them.
