Finally, a stitchy update!

Oh dear,  my last several posts have not shown much stitchy progress, but I promise I have been stitching.... as usual, a little of this and a little of that....


1. MiddleEarth Map (LOTR) SAL - 5 days of stitching a month starting on the 25th of each month:
Session 1 progress (not as much as I would have liked - sigh!):


2. Quaker Christmas II SAL with Amanda (see sidebar) - a Wednesday night SAL - this is two evening's stitching - pretty pleased with this:

3. Vanity SAL (The Dressmaker's Daughter - see Sidebar) - going slowly, also:


4. Santa's 12 Days of Christmas SAL (with Debbie and Linda - see sidebar) - Sunday night SAL.  This first pic is where I was before last Sunday and the next one is my current progress.  After lots of false starts (I lost the pattern twice!!!!!), I am now really on track with this - really happy!



5. Plus I have been doing some secret Christmas exchange stitching - which I can't show you - sorry!

Well, I had better go catch my train now.

Love to you all,

you do have some busy needles - the middle earth looks interesting to me - would love to start this one myself - the overdyed threads are showing up great on the quaker - hugs and stitches, Amanda

That's alot of new starts! Love the thread you're using for the quaker. It's a big project, what's your timescale for stitching?

Brigitte said...

Oh, oh, oh, some beautiful stitching on your WIPs and some great progress pictures. I have no rotation - doesn't work for me - but I also love to stitch a while on one project and then switch to the next.
