Samplering Some More

I've been using the Weeks 2 strand floss on this, and it's taken some getting used to.  First, just that it's two strands, so you don't have to do so much pulling apart.  It's also stiffer and less supple than DMC.  There's a matte finish to it, too.  This would be an excellent substitute for linen flosses.  Oh, and I've progress a bit into the second of four parts now, too.

A Tenth Part

The tenth part is done.  Time to start the Tassensampler, since it's next in the rotation.

At the Beginning

Yay, I'm at the top of the sampler.  I'll have this done fairly soon, too.

Walls Done

Finally!  I'm done with all the block walls.  Now I can go on and finally do the fun stuff. 

Peaches No Green

I got a lot of the area around the potted plant done, but none of it.

Blue and Gray

More of the backstitching is finished; the flowers on the lower left are about done.  I also added some green metallic and some gray to the outer part. 

A Random Temari

Well, I had an itch to do a temari a week or so ago.  It went pretty well, and I made this out of some of my Weeks win.  All the perle cotton used on this was from them, and is size five.  Even though I didn't really follow the pattern I wanted to make properly, I like the results.  And Weeks is good for temari, too!
