One Quarter Done-Kind of

Not much time to write, but here are the outlines for the pots for Ghost Dancer.  Lots of counting!!

Dancing Moving Along

I have actually made some progress on this piece.  I did not realize that it is due to Ro Pace in March. Yikes!  I am very worried about running out of threads so I may just order what I think I will need.  My other choice is to substitute DMC floss for some of the threads.  That way if I run out, it is easy to get the thread I need.

This piece has been difficult for me to count.  When I put the center Jessicas in I realized the couching was incorrect on three of the legs.  So they had to be redone.  One is still wrong, but I will leave it.  If I get an extension, I may go back and redo that part.

Counting issues made me decide to put the pots in and then the border.  (Ro has the border put in first.) Once I get all the outlines for the pots in, I will put the border in.  I am thinking of using beads for the center instead of French Knots so I will put them in later too.

Painted Desert Quilt Finished

Ta da!  I got this back from the quilters and stayed up late one night to get the binding done.  Now I have to send it on to my mom.  Hope she and Dad get to enjoy it for many, many years.

Another Leg

I had hoped to have finished these legs by now, but I got distracted by a different project.  (Hopefully I will post a picture of it next week-finished!)  I like laying the threads but am having a terrible time counting the outline.  I know the next step is little red bullions which I am looking forward to stitching.  Or is it a Hilton stitch next?

New Words for Sampler

I finally finished stitching the row with the verse.  I enjoyed making the queen stitches and think they make beautiful flowers.

More Work on Elizabeth

I have made a little progress on Elizabeth.  It is fun watching her develop although I wish I had a longer attention span...

Heirloom Sampler Restart

2013

1-7-14

I started this sampler in 2012 with my local EGA.  It has been sitting in my basement waiting patiently for me to restart it.  I thought I was going to be traveling with my dh for a week and thought this would be great for stitching in the hotel.  So up it came.  I am not traveling with my dh, but decided to work on this piece like I do Elizabeth; a few stitches every day as a break from my big project. Hopefully it will get done this year.  I did change the saying to parts of Proverbs 31.  .
