Still Outlining

Well, I'm back to working on the regular rotation stuff.  Here's my Tuscany, looking barely worked on more.  I'm -still- doing backstitching on part four.  There's a LOT of it.  Then I need to put the Rhodes stitches in, too.

All Finished Up

The stitching was done last year, but the finishing was done this one.  And it's all sent out as part of an exchange!

Still Another...

completed stitching ornament from the JCS 2010 ornament issue.  I believe I've stitched more ornaments from this than from any previous.  Now to complete them into finished ornaments... the stitching's the easy part.

Where the Charity Hearts Go

I just got notice the other day that one of my hearts was put into a quilt.  These are the hearts designed by children.  You can read about it here.  It's all in German, though, so if you don't know the language, here's a link to the translation.  They're always looking for stitchers if you're interested.

It's Not Red

This is the ornament Tis Red from the JCS 2010 Ornament issue.  It's done in Florimell Peacock, my current favorite thread.  Now I just need to finish it into a fob of sorts.

Christmas Star

Another ornament from JCS Christmas 2010.  This one was titled Christmas Star for some reason.  Original was in red; I decided on Jelly Beans.  I like the way it turned out.

Spindles on Black Temari

 I think my temari technique is improving, at least from the way this temari looks.  I'm falling in love with kyo-temari thread, too.  The shine just makes the temari pop.
