A New Round Robin

Since I'm almost done with my move, it's time to start a new round robin.  The theme of this one is roses, so I made a nice foundation for them.  My plan is to have only yellow roses and then donate this to some people I know for funds for the firefighters in Texas.  It got sent off last week.  Hopefully the first one to work on will be waiting for me in Moldova when I land tomorrow.

A Bit of Wheat

I added a couple of wheat ears and have all of one row left on the skirt.  Yay.  Progress!

Still Gilding

Still working on the background.  There's a lot to do!

Still Gardening

I'm still working on part six, and am about halfway through.  I don't know why, but each of these parts takes a long time for me.

Just a Bit

I've got the tops of two fruits done.  Some more leaves, too.  It's taking shape.  More color soon.

Almost Seventh

There are bits of two more buildings to cross stitch before I can say it's done but the specialty stuff, but part seven is definitely getting close.  It's so close, in fact, that I've used some of the thread lengths from seven to start eight!

Still Going

The Lady's skirt is almost done. I'm feeling this project is dragging at this point, but with all the travel, I haven't been able to do much stitching. Maybe once I settle in in the new house, I'll be able to do more with her.
