What are we stitching?
 

I thought it was time for another round...

I'm nearing completion of Judy Dixon's "Morning light". I'm just
starting the outer row and then there's the bs, French knots & beading
left to do. I didn't want to spend $6+ for one skein of floss, so I'm
stitching the outer row with a skein of Eterna silk (thank you Gill!)
that's a bit darker. You can see the design he

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.

I'm working on an orni from last years Just Stitch orni issue called
"Gingerbread House." Need to move my mom's Dazor magnifier/light so I
can see it better as I'm working on 35 ct. Have another orni "Star of
Wonder" that I got ready last fall that I probably will do next. Also
have Little House Needleworks "The Old Doll" set to go.

All this after not doing much needlework except a few ornis in the
last several years. I did finish an orni that had been the UFO
pile for more than two years so maybe I'm back in the swing of stitching
more regularly.

I have been working on Sunlit Irises by Kustum Krafts. I haven't done a lot
this summer due to neck and back problems and then I have been working in
the weed bed to clear it out and get it ready to plant grass.

Oooo, that's pretty! I've always liked their patterns. I have 3 or 4 of
them.

So how was it to stitch, Sheena? Didn't you say the squiggly part is
just one long thing you add afterwards? You'll have to let us know what
she says about it!

I'm still working on The Nativity by Heaven & Earth Designs. It's slow going because of my pains. Got 3 1/2 rows to go before page 2 is finished. After next Friday, I don't think I will be stitching for a few weeks as I'm having an operation to remove the stimulator they put in a year ago for the pain that didn't work from day 1. :( (it's caused more pain than it's taken away). I do hope to finish page 2 before then. Even though I don't stitch like I want to, I do try to get at least 20 stitches done a day. At this rate, I've got about a year left till a finished project. LOL

Still working on the second animal (Hawaiian Short Eared Owl) of my great nephew's birth sampler. Only 10 more to go but I started with the biggest and/or most complicated so it will go more quickly as I get along. BUT, a baby brother (Liam) is expected in December so I'll have another to plan! The next one will be maybe a cowboy/ranch/miner theme since the little family has moved from Hawaii to Nevada (more affordable). :-)
I'm also working on a Copper Butterfly project through my EGA chapter so I'l have to find time to squeeze the homework for that one in also.

Just finished "The Girls in the Guild" sampler by the Purple Thread. I did it on dark navy fabric with white and pale blue silk. Back to working on "Eleanor Parr" and "Le Bal d' Anastasie" which is totally beaded on fabric.

I would love to see the beaded work.
I too am beading but weaving bracelets. Since I am heading up to 80 my
eyes will only let me work for short periods even using Mag-eyes.
I have not done any embroidery of any kind for a long time.
I often think of the people who used to be on this group at the time I
made a Christmas ornament for HM The Queens Christmas tree back in the
late 1990's
Hugs To all

Shirley, I remember that! I wasn't an active participator at the time, I lurked and learned so much. Also found future projects from other's post. (like that 5 panel Nativity). What a joy it is to hear from people whose post in the past I remember.
