Call of the Raven

I have another finished page!
To give you an idea about the amount of stitches:
Chart is 450 x 600 = 270.000
Done: 450 x 470 = 211.500 stitches
That is 87,3 %

If I want to have it done within two years it means I have to add 2437 stitches each month. Until now I add about 1000 stitches a month. Going on like this means it won't be a finish until the year 2017 (!)

Here is  Call of the Raven. It took some time from the latest update, that was april 2013. But now you can see the difference ;) April 2013:

Now:

Progress on Call of The Raven

She is still growing. Almost finished her dress now.

Still going on ..

After being busy with other crafty things, I returned to Call of the Raven. Two more pages finished.

Call of the Raven

It's been a long time, but I have been stitching. There's almost a page finished again, I hope to have that done by the end of this weekend.

Joke's Call of the Raven

Most of my spare time this week I have been stitching on Call of the Raven. I'm in a Dutch group and we committed to do a thousand stitches each month. Last month I didn't make it, so I have to do two thousand cross stitches this month...
This is how it was last month:

And this is how it is now. 

 

Guilty!

Oh my, reading this last post I feel quilty! I haven't been posting for a while, but I hope I can make this up to you by posting some new pictures of Call of the Raven and Vibrant Vista.
I'll better my life, starting now ;)

Vibrant Vista

Autumn is here with sunny days. Trees are already colouring and they made me long for Vibrant Vista. So this is what I've been stitching last weeks. The first picture is how it was back in February, the second is how it is now.

Call of the Raven update

It took a long time, but I finally finished a row again. Here is Call of the Raven as it is now, for the next month I will stitch on Vibrant Vista, has been too long since I did that!

Call of the Raven update

It has been quite a while since I posted my last update. But I'm still stitching!

Call of the Raven update

Long time since I posted, but I've seen such wonderful projects growing with every stitch! Mine is growing too, this last month my focus was on Call of the Raven. I keep stitching over several pages, following the color I'm stitching on.

Joke's Vibrant Vista

This week an old friend came by, named Vibrant Vista. I didn't see her since 2010, September and last Monday we had an appointment, just the two of us. She didn't change a bit, since I saw her last time,

but after a week of stitching she looks quite different.

A close look at the tiles.

Joke's Foregone

This week I have been focusing on Foregone and yeah!! I finished page three (as you see I stitch from right to left, so two pages to go before the row is finished). It was a long way of confetti stitching, but finishing this page makes me aware (and proud) of my own grey hair LOL

Joke's Foregone and Call of the Raven

A new year, a new update :) By the way, wishing you all the best for 2011!

Call of the Raven update

Last week DH and I went to Germany, a short week's holiday. And Call of the Raven went with me ... time to show progress. I thought it would be nice to show a year's progress. so the first picture is the one of October 2009 , the last is October 2010. Considering I have two other HAEDs on the roll, it's not that bad, I think.

Foregone, Vibrant Vista and Call of the Raven

As you might know I have three heads on the roll. They are all growing little by little, here are some pictures .

Joke's Foregone and Vibrant Vista

Here's my progress on Foregone. The hair is getting clearly now, even a part of the lady's forehead.

As Autumn is coming quickly now I thought I should stitch on Vibrant Vista again. Do you remember how I left it last February? Like this:

Now there is some progress, the house is almost finished.

Joke's Foregone and Call of the Raven

It's been quite a while, so I have an update to show. I'm reaching the hair of the lady of Foregone. So stitching on it is becoming more and more fun. Call of the Raven is still growing on a monthly basis. And Astrid, do you see the difference? I'm rolling my work now instead of folding ;)

Call of the Raven and Foregone - Joke

It's quite some time ago that I posted an update on my work. I have been busy stitching on Foregone. It is a beautiful design, but until now rather boring! I am stitching brown, brown, dark brown, even darker brown and black. And I love bright colours LOL So how do I survive this? Yes, like all other stitchers do. Just follow my needle and from time to time stitch something else, like Call of the Raven. As you can see I don't like ironing LOL
