The Latest.....

progress on my two main projects:



I got the upper left corner done (minus the border). This week I hope to get the upper right corner done. I am stitching this with HDF Ethereal Ice and Mermaid 2331 on 32ct White Lugana.



a little progess on Quaker Seasons of friendship, which I am stitching along with my dear friend Maxine. I am stitching this with HDF Wattle n' Daub (single strand over 2) on 32ct White Lugana.

More Progress On Enya

I've made a little more progress on Enya. I spent quite a few hours ripping out a section because I was 1 stitch off. I had hoped to at least get started on the border by the time my week of stitching was up, but it was not to be.

I don't have any progress to report on my Quaker Seasons of Friendship, which I am stitching along with my friend Maxine. I was busy all weekend and did not have time to stitch on anything. So you'll have to wait another week for a progess picture! Stay tuned....

Update and a New Project

This is my Quaker Seasons of Friendship as of yesterday, January 10th. I did not have a lot of opportunity to stitch on this project over the weekend, so my progress was minimal.

When I am not stitching on Quaker Seasons of Friendship, this is the project I am working on:


I began this project on January 1st. Its called Enya and it is from Sampler Cove. I am a big fan of Enya, so I decided to stitch this in colors I think reflect the artist. The main color is Ethereal Ice and the other color is Mermaid 2331, both by HDF. I really like how this design is unfolding.

A New Start for 2010

Here is my first start for 2010:


This is Quaker Seasons of Frindship by R&R Reproductions. I'm stitching it on 32 count White lugana with Wattle n' Daub by Vikki Clayton HDF. I started in the middle instead of in the upper left corner.

I am stitching this design, along with my friend Maxine. This SAL will be done every weekend with progress pictures posted every Monday. So stay tuned....

Farewell 2009

I can’t believe another year has come and gone. It seems just like yesterday when we were celebrating the beginning of 2009. Now it is the end of the year and I have two finishes to share and one WIP.

My first finish is the 2008 Unicef design by Diane Williams (of Little House Needleworks). Its stitched on 28 count Purely Primitive by Silkweaver. The only change I made is the word in the middle. I changed it from Paz to Peace.

My next finish is Poinsettia House by Little House Needleworks. I started this project on Christmas Day and finished it this afternoon. Its stitched on 28 count Days Gone By by Silkweaver. I made no changes.

And finally, some more progress on Mystery Quaker. I thought I might finish it this year, but after stitching on it for almost a month, I began to grow bored, so I knew it was time to work on another project. But I am now half finished and I hope to complete it in 2010.

Grand Marquoir Finished

Well here it is....my Grand Marquoir by Isabelle Vautier is finally finished. I began this project in March and I finished it on November 22nd. This project was stitched on 28 count Ivory evenweave and I used DMC 312 for the main color and DMC 334 as the accent color.



Here is a close up of just 2 of my favorite blocks. There were so many wonderful blocks to choose from, but I have to say these 2 are my most favorite. This was a wonderful project and I want to say many thanks to Isabelle Vautier for offering this great free project.

Grand Marquoir Progress

Here is my Grand Marquoir. This was my progress as of Sunday, November 15th. I have actually stitched on it some more since then. I am hoping to get this done by this weekend. For those of you have asked, this is stitched with DMC 312 and 334.
