Four Hearts

ANG had the sunflower heart in its magazine as a project. I immediately thought of Ukraine and bought it. While browsing, I found three more I really liked and now own. Need to start the Ukraine ones soon, especially since the stitch guide is out in the ANG magazine for the sunflower one.


 

A Little Foliage

Got a little foliage peeking out from behind the tall house.


 

Castle Ksiasz

We got here late in the day so we need to go back at some point. It was, at least, a perfect day. But it was too late to buy tickets to go inside.


 

Walking the Boulevard in Szczecin

There's a maritime academy in Szczecin, and this is the boat they use to train. Also a bunch of views and scenery in the area.















 

Walking by the Elbe in Dresden

Yes, it was a pretty bleak (and chilly!) day, but the tour took us down the Elbe river. Evidently the bridge collapsed during a storm a couple of weeks previously. I don't know what the pretty building is, but it's not on the church/palace side of the river.

Making a Flag

Restarted this project with lines from Our Country Tis of Thee. This one is probably the quickest of the four to stitch. Series is from Gay All Rogers.

 

Added a Garden to the Rotation

With the Victorian Garden done, I've started back up on Alhambra Garden. It uses a -lot- more DMC than other Chatelaines because it's one of the earliest.
