Cross Stitch Update

Finished up the Starlight Sampler - only a little of that to go - and started a couple of new things to keep me busy.  A bigger piece, this Thirteen Colonies Sampler

by Little House Needleworks - you can see it on their blog here, the first item on the Americana page. 

And this is just a little piece - a tree with a bird - the green leaves don't really show that well on this linen (despite being the precise colours called for in the pattern in both linen and threads), but I think it will show better when finished - and of course, in person in proper light it's somewhat better.

Cross Stitch Update

Good progress this week - and now, nearly finished. I still have the O and P to do, two flowers which are embedded in the alphabets (plus a few dots in the leaf border), and a small bird, which sits on the top branch of the left hand tree, and that's it. 

Cross Stitch Update

As I am now tired of my Christmas stitching until much later in the year, I went back to pull out this piece, which I stopped working on in early December, I think. Made good progress on it this week, though there are still a few borders to come (and two alphabets at the bottom) - won't be long, though, especially if I get another week where I get as much done as this week...

Cross stitch update

A bit more stitching on this piece this week. I will carry on working on this a bit, but I am also beginning to feel Christmassy, so I think I'll be pulling out some seasonal stuff to work on - perhaps starting with something small and psyching myself into the bigger stuff...

Cross stitch update

As I'm putting the Hallowe'en mystery away, I needed something else to stitch before getting the Christmas stuff out - so I chose this piece. I doubt I'll finish it before I get the holiday stuff out, but that's ok, it will last.
