Finished Cityscape Hearts

Well, I finished both hearts.  I have been busy with Christmas programs and haven't been able to do much stitching.  Hopefully that will change next week and I can get working on Serpentine again.

15 Minutes on a Heart

After removing my mistakes, I continued stitching on this heart.  Some days I did more than 15 minutes while on others, I did not work on it at all.  Still, it is coming along. 

Mistake

I had to take my boys to youth group and so I have an hour or so to stitch.  (I try to get up and walk around a little.)  I thought all was going well until I realized that I made my last building too long.  It has a building in front of it so I need to do some reverse stitching.  Could I leave it?  Maybe.  But I think I wouldn't be happy in the long run.  So tomorrow's  15 minutes will be frogging.... 

This Week's Progress

I have made some progress on my black Cityscape.   And I have only done 15 minutes a day!  Hopefully I will have a progress report on Serpentine soon.  I am getting bogged down on the border.

Cityscapes Heart-Black

This is the stitching I was able to do on Saturday.  It doesn't seem like much, but being on black congress cloth I have a difficult time seeing where my needle is to land.  I am trying to limit myself to 15 minutes a day on the piece although I find that difficult.  Why?  It is fun to see the buildings to develop and I want to start a Gay Ann Rogers heart...

White Cityscapes-Finished

I finished my Cityscapes Heart by Betty Chen Louis yesterday.  Now on to the black one!  Will wait for a sunny day to photograph it.

15 Minutes a Day-Cityscapes

I forgot to post this over the weekend.  But I did stick to 15 minutes a day and got a fair amount done.  I am resisting starting another project until I get Serpentine finished.

Cityscape Hearts-Beginning

Ann at Stitch Gay Ann Blog suggested stitching 15 minutes on our Gay Ann Rogers stash. I thought it  was a great idea except I did not have any 8 inch stretcher bars to start a piece on.  But I did have Betty Chen Louis's hearts framed up, one black and one white.  I have started stitching for 15 minutes a day on the white one.  My reasoning for starting something new is that I am very close to finishing my Promise of a Mystery and I do want to see how much I can get done in 15 minutes a day.  I will try to post my progress weekly.
