I have been stitching but not much I am almost finished with Romeo and The Chicks, wish me luck.

I have been putting in many hours at work so the stitching bag is idle the past two weeks.

This is one of my Up For A Challenge, I know it is a small project but it is done, I have done over 100 needlerolls, many I have kept and the rest I gave away as gifts.

This is the Autumn Needleroll by Lorri Birmingham,  I started this oh so long ago I am a bit slow, the snowman ornament is something someone else stitched I just did the finishing of  the ornament and added the trim.

Happy Spring to all.

Plant Kindness Reap Love

Threads: DMC 2 over 1. 

Glory Of Autumn

Designer: Dimensions - Kit

Progress - April 26, 2012

Material: 25 Count Cream Lugana

Threads - DMC 2 over 2.

Started this - March 2010

I decided to pull my own threads and my own material for this one and I'm glad that I did.  I love this pattern and its going to be beautiful when I am finished but the Pattern itself is very hard to read.  It has Red, Black, Blue Symbols.  I got the worst part of this done now.  I am using Full Cross Stitches where there is Half Stitches for the Trees and the Water. 

Thanks for looking...enjoy....

My first finish for this challenge this year!!!

Approximately 32,500 stitches and 4 years later this WIP is FINISHED!!! This is my largest finish to date!! I really enjoyed the challenge and fun of this piece!!! Now polish off those dancin' shoes guys and happy dance for/with me!!

This is my progress on Romeo and the Chicks, I am going to turn this into a pillow for a chair in the kitchen, it has lots of changes of colors it can be challenging, this is a Leisure Arts pattern I won it last year at retreat in  the stash reduction auction, the only stitching on this piece was the chick on the far right (in red) why the owner wanted to get rid of it is a question no one wants to answer I love this pattern, she started it and lucky me won the threads pattern and the started project.
I hope to have this finished soon.

Linda K's Updates - Fri Feb 24

More Progress on Fantasy Triptych by TW.  I have the Prince's Face done except for the back stitching.  The End is in Sight....YIPEE!  Probably by the end of next month I will have this one.  I hope anyways. 

Autumn Splendor by Stoney Creek.  This is one of the Deer's face.  I think his face is so adorable and so cute and so precious.  I just dearly love his face.  This is a Fall Scenery type picture.  There are two deers in a wooded area with trees, a real old building, a white picket fence, and the trees have fall leaves on them.  There is a hill going up to the old building.  I love this one and I so much enjoy stitching on it as well too. 

Thanks for looking....enjoy.....

getting close to finish!

I am starting to speed up as it is almost close to finishing. I think another 2 weeks of work and it will be completed! Happy Dance! This is my oldest UFO as I had stitched a few stitches and then put it aside to work on something else. I had completely forgotten about this for a number of years. Sigh!

What I'm Working On

Here are photos of my intended projects for this year. I haven't stitched much at all so far this year. Life seems to get in the way and there aren't enough hours in the day! Above is The Flax Sampler by Eileen Bennett of The Sampler House. Below is my Most Noble Pursuit. Yes, the date is 2007. I got bogged down with the over 1 stitching, couldn't see it with contacts and cheaters. Time has done wonders, now I can see it great by looking under my bifocal glasses. I have made a bit of progress since I took this photo so there might be an update at the end of this long weekend.


Above is Emmanuel's Song from Shepherd's Bush. It is tough to get a good photo between the cream on cream areas and the length. Below is Keep the Spirit, a Debbie Mumm kit. I've finished the center portion except for more snow, then it is on to the border.

Hope we all can enjoy lots of stitching time this weekend.
