Another Cell on Solar Flare

Not much progress to see, but I thought I would post what took me two nights to accomplish.

Brazilian Embroidery Class

My dd wanted to take Ganet Burr's Brazilian Embroidery Purse through EGA। I have a shirt that I dyed that needed something। So we are taking the class together। So far, I find it relaxing. Here is my little bit of progress with Ro Pace's Solar Flare। Slowly but surely....

Promise of A Mystery २०१०-January and February

My EGA-Mississippi River Valley Chapter-has permission to teach this piece at our meetings। I am programs with anothe gal, so I felt I needed to have a piece in progress for the ladies to see। I will be changing things this time। The corner eyelets were supposed to be red (Family B), but I changed them to yellow/orange(Family C)। Hopefully I won't be ripping as I hate working with the Blending Filament.

Challenge

My local EGA is challenging us to finish some pieces। I could have choosen some older WIP, but decided I wanted to get these done।
First is Ro Pace's Solar Flare। Remember it from last year? I haven't worked on it in ages. Next is Orna Willis's Squaredance। I just started it, but I am bound and determined to keep up this year.

What are you stitching this year?

Another Promise of A Mystery

First, here is a picture of my Echoes of Elizabeth Needlecase by Gay Ann Rogers. I am doing a little every morning and hoping to finish it this year। Maybe before her e-week sale so I can buy something. Here is a photo of my new Promise। I started it last night with the hopes of getting through the February lessons before Orna Willis posts the next lesson for Squaredance। I dyed the floss and perle cotton myself and have yet to decide if I will use the orange or pale yellow for the Family C.

I may be totally insane, but I am thinking of stitching yet another one all in flosses and a few Kreiniks...

Dancing

I have been working on Orna's Squaredance. It is so much fun! I have a little more to do on two more squares and then I am finished with Lesson One. And horrors! The next lesson won't come out until January 31.

Guess that means I will have to work on something else. I could try to finish my Gay Ann Roger's Echoes piece....Or should I start something new?

Beginning a New Class

Here is the beginning of Squaredance. I am afraid I did not anchor my threads very well. I love the color of the canvas. This is going to be a fun class! BTW, all the black lines are basting and will come out. I hate basting!
