Started Filling In


I added some more of the specialty stitches and the gold, then did a bit more on the edge this week. I really like the colors on this.

Still on Specialty Stitches

Parts three and four of the gardens have their specialty stitches started in this picture. Since it was taken last Friday, I've finished all the specialty stitches for part three. Yay! Now I can go on to part four. I think I've been working on parts two and three for nearly a year now.

Old is Back...


This is the last of my pre-Christmas rotation to be added back into the circle. It's Tiramisu and it's a correspondence course from EGA - one which I, of course, didn't finish on time. I'm on the eighth of twelve bands now. The middle of the eighth band is upside down. I accidentally had the picture upside down when I started stitching it, and well.... it doesn't look bad upside down.

Stripy Progress on Poirot


Since I started working on it daily, Poirot's progress has significantly increased. Odd correlation, that, yes? I hope to finish this by the end of the week, and I might actually make it. Still love the colors.

Rounding it out Again


The medium green scallops are toning down the measles some. Once I'm done with these, it'll be time to start another circle, I think. Round and round it goes...

Building from the Bottom Up


A bit more of two lighter colors this week and some red roof tiles. I like that I'm able to work with a variety of colors and different shapes now. After all four of those huge corners, I needed a change.

My Fourth Finish of the Year


Surprising myself, I've gotten a lot of things finished so far this year. I just hope it continues. This is Orna Willis' Midnight Garden, and I finished it just over a week ago. The main problem I had with it was the French knots. They tried to pull themselves out even after I was done with them. I like the look of it still and might stitch it again in another colorway in a couple of years.
