More of Flowers of Italy

How I miss my college students!  My middle child is such a big help with techie things.  I video taped myself stitching this section of the Amadeus stitch and it is adequate, but could be better.  Thank God he is coming home tomorrow and can help me edit my videos and maybe make a few more.  I need the video for my local EGA as I am teaching this stitch next Tuesday!

Angel Wings Removed

I was cruising along on this piece when I came to the spot where the Angel Wings are horizontal again when I realized I was off. Since I am using blending filament along with the floss, I was super sad to remove it.  I love the sparkle of blending filament,but hate how it shreds.  Maybe I should get my bees wax out.

Almost have a Sheep

I did a little work on this last night and feel like I am getting closer to the beading section.  I still have a bit to go before I get there though.  These little Mill Hill Bead Kits can be deceiving....

All Done Except for the Beading

I know it doesn't look like much, but all the stitching is done on this heart. I just need to add the beads which really makes these hearts sparkle.  But that will have to wait as I need to work on the project for my guild, the doodle drawn thread sampler and the next crazy quilt block that has come may way.

Another Band Started

I do love this white work piece.  I just don't think I am doing the greatest job at it.  But since this is just the doodle sampler and there is another larger sampler ahead of me,I try to keep plugging along.  I am also anxious to start one of my Scarlet Letter samplers, but have too many things in my rotation right now.  How does Linda keep up with all her new starts?  I would go crazy!  Or crazier than I already am!

A Bit More Done

I continue to work on this piece off and on.  I try to get 12 stitches in a day, but that doesn't always happen.  It is really close to putting the beads in but I have so many other priorities right now.  Anyone else in the same boat?  I figure if I get the pilot class stitched, I will be able to finish some other projects up.

Some More Heart

I haven't made much progress, but I am making some.  Hopefully I will have some time this week to get the stitching finished on this piece so I can get to the beads.
