Pottering Along


I managed to get all the pots done on the first arch and start those on the second this week. All that's still needed in the first one is the gold curlicues. Making progress, for sure.

Drawn Thread


I've made some progress on this. It's just wrapping, and to me that's not really stitching. All those white canvas threads need to get covered. Fewer showing this week than last. I should probably just sit down and do it one day and get it done.

Dazzling Stairsteps

It looks like the next few things I'm doing on this piece are scotch and cashmere stitch rectangles. So far, I have most of the scotch stitches done on one side. When I work on it, it goes pretty quickly, and I like the colors.

Purple Circles

I finished all the Jessicas in this band this week. Looking at the next band ... that one's a huge amount of Jessicas. Before I get to it, though, there's another row of starfles (the middle band in the picture). I'll be starting them this week.

Another Week, Another Round Robin

Well, I finished this one early this week but waited until today to post it. Had to because my husband was away and I had to get a picture. At least this Aida was softer than the last few, and it was a quick and easy stitch.

Uncertainty

I'm still not sure I've counted right for the corners. There's really nothing to register them against and the backstitching is weirdly counted because of the single thread on the outline bit. Part three really doesn't help. It doesn't have any part of part two to register against on the chart. I may go ahead and do all of part three, then hope part four has tiny bits of both to place part two correctly. It's not like I'm keeping up with the chart, anyway. I still like the look of it on this fabric a lot and this is the first problem of this kind I've had with any of this designer's charts.

Slight Progress


I managed to stitch some on this at Seminar. It's going slow because it's not really in my rotation, but I'll get it done. I like it.
