This is primarily a stitching blog and when there isn't much stitching going on it's difficult to update. I have been stitching on an off but haven't had much progress on anything to report. However, I have finally finished something!! In looking at the time stamp on my last post it's a year since I've had a finish.<br />
<br />
This is Plum Pudding by Glendon Place. It's stitched in the recommended Dinky Dye silks but I changed out the fabric and used an overdye that I had from Silkweaver in my stash. <br />
<br />

<br />
I've also done a bit more on Around the World in 80 Stitches by Papillion Creations. I was rotating this with Plum Pudding. I'm behind on this, 18 parts have been released. I did go ahead and work the outlines for several more parts, I think through Part 17.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly, I made a start on Old Glory by Rosewood Manor. This is going to be my "go to, just cross stitch" chart which I will rotate with ATW80.</div>

<br />
The group owners announced a couple of weeks ago that the group would be closing in June, which is very sad. This is probably the last design I will stitch with them. The others I've done through this group were A Tribute to Ackworth by Barbara J., Fleur et Papillon by Angie Designer, and Many Years Ago by Gudi Kolden. This is an international group of half German and half English speaking members.<br />

I've probably not been stitching as much as I'd like but I have made quite a bit of progress on Plum Pudding by Glendon Place. I am absolutely loving stitching this piece and the Dinky Dye silks it's stitched with are wonderful. First time using them and it won't be my last. Anyway, here is a picture, this was taken a couple of weeks ago and I've done a bit more since. When I get my camera out again I'll take another one.<br />
<br />

<br />
The fabric is an overdye from Silkweaver and I've no idea what the color is, I think it was one of their solos. It's very difficult to get an accurate picture of the colors but this one is close. <br />
<br />
I've also got Grasshopper Pie and Cherries Jubilee in my stash and I believe the designer has more like this in the works.<br />
<br />
I'm itching to get some updates on my other projects but there are only so many stitching hours in the week; working full-time really interferes with that, LOL! <br />
<br />
I have made some progress on Confetti of Hardanger (pictured in previous post), I've done some of the weaving and will take a photo in due course, so stay tuned!<br />

This is Parts 1 to 4 and lots more to come yet. You can see the finished version on the home page of the group. Part 3 was all the motifs and eyelets and took a while, mainly because of the counting involved. I went ahead and did part 4 first to give another point of reference for the counting. Part 8 has been released and so I'd better get on and get caught up!<br />

If it wasn't for the deadlines on the Sticklounge group I may not have them done but by the time I get to the last part I'm eager to finish. This is Fleur et Papillon from Angie Designer and it was done in six parts.<br />

What a joy this was to stitch! I enjoyed every minute of it, except when I had to do some frogging! However, that was my fault and not the fault of the design. This is from Luv2Stitch2 Designs, Barbara J. is the designer. <br />
<br />
It is stitched in Waterlilies silk #112 Fir and the letters in Soie Cristale to match the green in the Fir. The picture isn't the best and I may try to get a better one, it's more vibrant than it shows.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've also completed Part 2 of Confetti of Hardanger by Abi Gurden of Bee's Needleworks. This is a SAL on <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheStitchSpecialists/">The Stitch Specialists</a> Yahoo Group. Part 2 was the cable stitch and double backstitch around the motifs. I enjoyed doing the cable stitch but not the double backstitch so much. It was done from the reverse side of the fabric and that felt really weird! I'm not sure I've got it done right now but it's going to stay the way it is!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now to catch up with the Many Years Ago sampler and Tribute to Ackworth, and then get back to Around the World in 80 Stitches, I'm still on Part 3 and I think Part 6 is due. Also, so many new projects I want to start...so much to stitch, so little time! </div>

<br />
I'm using 32 count Belfast/Lilac, Caron Wildflowers #162 Periwinkle, and I will be using Rainbow Gallery Subtlety #Y935 for the weaving and stitches that require the finer thickness of Perle. You can see the finished product on <b><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheStitchSpecialists/" style="color: red;">The Stitch Specialists Yahoo Group</a></b> home page.<br />
<br />

<br />
I believe there are two more parts. There is a different central motif and the rest is a mirror image of the corners with the butterflies.<br />
<br />
Next is the next part of Tribute to Ackworth, this is parts 1-13.<br />

This is a very quick stitch and the part I just did only took a couple of hours if that. It's a good project to SAL alongside others.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will be starting another SAL with the Sticklounge group on July 25. It's called the "Many Years Ago" sampler by Gudi Kolden. The design is about 9" x 9" on the 36 count Edinburgh linen I've chosen and so will be considerably smaller than what I'm currently working on, which is good! The linen is a solo from Silkweaver and is a tone on tone mauvey color, not too blotchy. I'm going to use DMC #315. I had chosen a nice silk from Soie d'Alger but I didn't have enough and it's not an easy thread to get and I didn't want to have to order and wait. The DMC will be fine, I'm going to use one strand on the 36 count.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Plum pudding is calling me! I'm not talking about the stuff you eat but this design from Glendon Place <b><a href="http://www.glendonplace.net/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=109" rel="nofollow" style="color: red;">Plum Pudding</a></b>. I have the chart and all the threads I just need to choose the fabric, the thread colors are just gorgeous, my favorite purples!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've also just received a lovely kit as a Bingo prize and I hope to start this soon. This is not really a "kit" but a chart that came complete with fabric and all the threads and accessories, whole skeins of thread. It's the <b><a href="http://www.cobwebcorner.com/zoomify.asp?catalogid=10645&image=assets%2Fimages%2Fxsimages6%2Fcsmcd11.jpg" rel="nofollow" style="color: red;">Embroidress Band Sampler by Moss Creek Designs</a></b> and it's really lovely. I'm not sure if I'll do the whole of that border, it might become a bit tedious, I'll have to see when I get into it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last but not least, Confetti of Hardanger by Abi Gurden will be starting on August 4th. This is a SAL with a Yahoo Group I help moderate <b><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheStitchSpecialists/" rel="nofollow" style="color: red;">The Stitch Specialists</a></b>, you can also see a picture at that link. This project is for beginners and those a bit more advanced and can even be done with no cutting if desired. Abi will be presenting options for different stitches and it is a teaching SAL. We have 125 members signed up and I'm really looking forward to it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think that's about it for now. Hopefully I will have some progress to show on Around the World in 80 Stitches next time I do an update. That project got put on hold while I got on with the other two. Part 4 is out now and I've not done Part 3 yet, so I have some stitching to do!</div>

The first is Fleur et Papillon by Angie Designer and this is Parts 1-3. Part 4 was released a couple of days ago and I need to keep up! I'm half way through now.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I don't usually work projects by pages, I always tape pages together and work across the join but there's no option with this SAL as you have to stitch one part before getting the next. However, I'm loving stitching this piece and only 3 colors to worry about, it goes pretty fast.<br />
<br />
The next project is Tribute to Ackworth by Barbara J. (Luv2Stitch Designs). This is a VERY quick stitch and I'm now through Part 12 of 24. This is stitched in Waterlilies silk #112 Fir.<br />

I've made a start on Part 3 of Around the World in 80 Stitches by Papillon Creations but put it up to keep up on Fleur et Papillon but hope to get back to it today. I think I'm going to frog first though because I'm not happy with my lazy daisy stitches, they are always difficult to place on counted thread, easier on freestyle embroidery. I'll do a picture update when I have more done.</div>

All for today. Off to watch Breakfast at Wimbledon and do some stitching!</div>

Had some frustrations along the way, and a bit of frogging, but it finally came together. I didn't like the Moravian stitch very much (think that's what it was called), seemed like too much thread in a small area, this is in the white section top right and bottom left. Anyway, part 3 has been released and so will now get on with that, there is some nice cutwork (drawn thread) in that section.<br />

This is Tribute to Ackworth by Barbara J. of Luv2Stitch Designs through Part 11. I'm still loving stitching this piece, it's so quick and easy. I'm feeling a bit better about the thread situation but not 100% yet, hopefully I have enough, otherwise I'll just cross that bridge when I come to it.<br />

<br />
The second one I'm doing is Fleur et Papillon by Angie Designer and this is it through Part 2. This is also a lovely design to stitch and a bit more time consuming than Ackworth. I've worked a bit on Part 3 but I'm going to put this up for a bit while I work on Part 2 of Around the World in 80 Stitches by Papillon Creations, I would like to get that done before Part 3 comes out.<br />

Having just joined the group I'm a little behind, Part 3 has just been released, but I have just finished Part 1. I'm stitching this on 28 count Cashel/Lavender Mist using Rainbow Gallery Splendor silk. The colors are S1037 Dark Plum, S1035 Medium Plum, and S802 White. Looking forward to Part 2 which is the top right hand section.<br />

This is a really fun and very quick stitch. Once in a while it's nice to do something all in one color and straight cross stitch. Well, it's two colors in that the letters are done in a solid but the bulk is in Caron Waterlilies. My only concern right now is that I might not have enough thread but I'll have to cross that bridge when I come to it, can't worry about it now!<br />
<br />
I've moved to working on Fleur et Papillon, another SAL on Sticklounge and I will have a progress picture on that shortly. When I'm caught up with that one I will then move back to my Papillon Creations "Around the World in 80 Stitches."Margueritehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15257554406926453828noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426134641266731268.post-45373193860373176132012-05-20T19:06:00.002-05:002012-05-20T19:06:38.019-05:00Tribute to Ackworth through Part 5I'm still moving along on Tribute to Ackworth, this is Parts 1-5, another corner finished!<br />

This is Part 5 that I finished this afternoon. I think the group is on
Part 9 so I have just a bit more to do before I'm caught up with the
SAL.

This is Tribute to Ackworth by Barbara J. (Luv2Stitch2 Designs) parts 1-3. I started this in progress and the group is up to Part 8 so I'm playing catch up but it's going fast, this is one week's work. The fabric is Belfast/Fairy Dust and the thread is Caron Waterlilies #112 Fir and a coordinating solid Soie Cristale for the letters.<br />

I wish I could get the colors to show up more true but this is as good as I could tweak it. The fabric is Belfast/Toasted Almond and is darker than in the picture. I'm really enjoying stitching this project, and I've learned a few new stitches. On the right hand heart the flowers are done in Lindisfarne stitch completed in 3 parts; the centers in metallic, then the flower petals and then the outline. Other stitches are Scotch, lazy daisy, eyelets, and rays. The left hand heart uses Norwich stitch for the purple flowers with metallic rays. The green flower stems on the red flowers are Berwick stitch, a very interesting one to do and new to me. Then there is a selection of rays, lazy daisies again, and backstitch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have decided not to do the beads yet but there are several dotted about in this design. They will go on top of the Berwick stitch stems in the "corners" of the left heart, and also in the centers of the backstitch diamonds. They are in the empty backstitch sections on the right hand heart and elsewhere. I don't like scrolling up beads and I want to wait and see what the next part is before I finally decide on the colors I'm going to use. It calls for two colors of beads and I've picked four to choose from. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I changed my mind on the color of the metallic from what I posted last week in my color choices. The one I'd picked was too dark and so I went with PB10 Petite Treasure Braid from Rainbow Gallery. I'm looking forward to the next section!</div>

This is a SAL and will be released in 24 monthly parts, the first part has just been released. I went out to my LNS today and chose the fabric and threads. The fabric I chose is 32 count Belfast/Toasted Almond and the threads are a selection of Rainbow Gallery Splendor silk. It called for two colors of beads but I couldn't make up my mind and so I'll choose those from the 4 I picked when the time comes to use them. There's also one skein of metallic braid from Kreinik. The instructions were to choose 3 greens (dark, medium and light), and 8 floral colors. There's also going to be some white in there somewhere, not sure if I'll use floss or Perle.<br />

It has been a WIP/UFO for a LONG time and I finally made a commitment to finish it. The chart was a nightmare to work with because of the symbols not being clear, and some being very similar, but other than that it was an enjoyable stitch. Excuse the wrinkles! I didn't take time to iron it before taking the picture.<br />

This is my second stitching of the Tree of Stitches by Abi Gurden. The first one I did in all greens and this one is my blossom tree. I left the beading off this one because I think it looks fine without it and I'm not wild about doing beads! <br />

I've had virtually no time to stitch the last few months but hopefully that will change within a month or two. I quit a part-time volunteer position at the end of December and when I've finished the online computer class I'm taking I will have lots more time, that's the plan anyway.Margueritehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15257554406926453828noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426134641266731268.post-90669980070079220382011-11-20T09:54:00.001-06:002011-11-20T09:57:51.497-06:00Updates on a variety of projects<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

It's been a long while since I posted and for a long time I had no progress
to post about! It's been a very busy few months between work, my TOPS
work, and taking an online class in Excel at the college. However, I
finally got my stitching mojo back and have worked on a few
projects. <br />
<br />
Firstly, this is the new SAL from The Stitch Specialists Yahoo Group (of
which I'm a moderator). It's called "The Great Escape" and the
design is by Abi Gurden. As you can tell by the name of the group it's
all done in specialty stitches. Everyone chooses their own fabric and threads
and the variation in choices and the creativity on the group is amazing!
You can see a picture of the finished product by going to the home page of the
group click here <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheStitchSpecialists/">The Stitch
Specialists</a>. I'm using a piece of 28 count Cashel and it was a solo
from Silkweavers way back when. The thread is from Threadworx and I'll
probably do most of the owl in this color, I'll think of colors for the other
parts when I get there! The picture is Parts 1 through 5.<br />

Next is a long time UFO, now a WIP I guess! It's a
good project to work on if you're feeling tired or stressed, canvas is more
forgiving that fabric! It's called Reflecting Pools and is by Laura J.
Perin. The original design was in blues and I changed to the rose/mauve
shades you see here. I'm using a variety of threads but mostly
Watercolors, Wildflowers and Waterlilies from Caron Collection. There is
a bit of a shadow in the picture, it's not really darker on the right hand
side.</div>

Next is another Tree of Stitches! The design is by Abi
Gurden and was the previous SAL on The Stitch Specialists. I think I mentioned
in a previous post that my daughter-in-law took a shine to the first Tree of
Stitches I did, that one all in greens, and so it is now residing in London,
England. (See previous blog posts for pictures). I decided to stitch it again
but this time make it a blossom tree in my favorite colors of
purple/rose/pink. The thread is from Threadworx and I've used three
different colors so far, one for the trunk and two for the blossoms. The
eyelets are in progress and being done in Splendor silk. The fabric is
another one from Silkweavers, I do regret the demise of that company as they
had some beautiful fabrics.</div>

Last but not least is The Victoria Sampler design (see blog
post below) which is in progress but I haven't worked on it in a while. I
have all the boxes done around the border and have started on the design in the
center. While I was feeling so tired I didn't want to attempt some of the
intricate stuff and so I thought I'd do the easy cross stitch part! When
I have a lull in the above three projects I'll pull this out again, perhaps
over the Christmas break when I have two whole weeks off work! There are
some distinct advantages in working for a college that closes :-)</div>

I subscribed to this Cyberclass a few years ago but never got around to stitching it. Yesterday I dug it out and set it up and put in the outside round of Klosters last night. VS Cyberclasses are very detailed and fun to stitch. I also have <a href="http://www.victoriasampler.com/Catalogue/Cyberclasses/Sclass_tp.aspx">Tea Party</a> waiting in the wings!<br />

This is The Treasure Box from The Drawn Thread, one of my favorite designers. It's about 6" square and so not a large design and was quick to stitch and I learned a few stitches along the way! <br />

Now I need to choose another Drawn Thread design to stitch. This was done as a SAL on the Yahoo Group TSSDrawnThreadSAL which is a spin off group of The Stitch Specialists, see link on left side of blog.Margueritehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15257554406926453828noreply@blogger.com4
