I got a few more rows done last week, but surprisingly the piece didn't change into green and yellow or anything.
Debbie Draper designed a small quaker for Sticklounge, and I, of course, succumbed. This is most of the first of four parts. The fabric is a bright green from Vikki Clayton and the thread is some of the stuff I got from the Weeks giveaway. It's two ply floss. To me, the piece looks very 70's. Andreas is just glad that once I'm finished with it, I'll make it into a gift. Evidently, he's got a thing against avocado green.
I've pretty much finished the upper half's cross stitching on this side. Now onto completing the largest building in the part.
Yay, a big finish! I even got it done three weeks before the deadline! I really like the way it looks and people have commented on how much they love it when they've seen me working on it. The piece is called Kaleidoscope Mandala and was designed by Tracy Horner of Ink Circles. I used all Vikki Clayton floss and the linen is 28 count antique white. Now I think I'm going to make it into a bread cloth.
The square I'm working on now is really densely stitched, so it's taking a while to get through. On the other hand, it looks pretty good.
This is easy to make progress with. I think I'll be able to do a section once a week, which will make it easy to get it done on time!
I am now officially over halfway done on the second rectangle! Now I have to decide next time I work on it if I am going to start on the third or just continue with the second until it's done.
