So what are you working on?
I have a lot of projects in progress right now, although I've finished up a
bunch in the past month. I have: - 3 sewing projects (2 dresses and a buttondown shirt) - finishing/hemming of a JCS ornament from several years ago - tropical fish on black linen - The Ocean from Cross My Heart - blouse with a whitework border around the neck - an old cross-stitch kit with 9 angels on it - "Angle of Love" by Cross-eyed Kat - a beaded necklace from an issue of New Stitches that I gave to my cousin and thus can't finish. doh! How about you? Meredith |

Good topic - we haven't had an update recently!
I'm working on BOAF L'Printemps. About 40% of the way through - and after what happened to Otomne, it's not going to any swim meets LOL! My swim meet piece is It Raining Cats and Dogs (Thanks Gillian!) Linda |

Good topic - we haven't had an update recently! Same old, same old, but I'm getting closer to completion on a couple of projects. I just started back on the background of my Iris panel this past week. I'm about 5/6 of the way done, then I'll have to think about finishing. I sewed the silk edges to the holly cross stitch I've been working on, but haven't done the quilting on it yet. Other projects in waiting - bead embroidery sampler jewelery bag - musical angel cross stitch - cabled navy cotton sweater - box pattern afghan, knitted - ecru counterpane Nothing else started. I have, however, completed a raised box planter for my tomatoes and should start shovelling in dirt this weekend. Dora |

So what are you working on?
Welcome back!
I am *supposed* to be finishing a housewarming gift, but I got off-count at both ends and in the middle, and am now at the point of having to fudge everything everywhere. Since I'm working nights right now (although after tonight, with both computers having different malfunctions, I'm about to toss both computers in the neighbor's hot tub and quit -- don't ask), I'm too tired to figure it out when I finally sit down to stitch. So, I picked up something less challenging ... MLI's Dance of the Roses, which, like most MLIs, once you get the bones laid out (which I did on a weekend), it's just following along the existing lines. This is due for an August 1 birthday. -- Karen C - California MAY IS CFS/FIBROMYALGIA AWARENESS MONTH Please print and send this to your elected officials http://www.co-cure.org/Congressional_Action07.htm www.CFSfacts.org where we give you the facts and dispel the myths Myths, with research cites: http://www.aacfs.org/images/pdfs/myths.pdf Finished 5/2/07 -- Forget Love, I'd rather fall into CHOCOLATE!

How about you? Meredith Good to see you again. I have a couple of crewel works in progress, though they don't progress very fast lol I never said how long these have been WIPs - most of them predate grad school. You might consider skipping the fancy wedding and just getting married, it works ! we've considered just about every permutation, and decided we want to throw a big party. Shouldn't be too expensive, though, since we're cutting a bunch of traditional stuff. And waiting until we can pay cash, for sure. Meredith |

So what are you working on?
I've started what will probably be at *least* a year-long project:
Carol Emmer's Heirloom Nativity. There's a pic he http://tinyurl.com/2bf3ch I'm a glutton for punishment and am going to stitch both sides of them so I can arrange them however I want. I am stitching them in the order of appearance in the story, so I have one side of Mary done, the manger (without Jesus for now and yes, I know that's not in order...had a temporary lapse of memory on the decision to do them in order) and I've just started on the angel. I still have to reverse the patterns so I can stitch the other side. Recent finishes are a silhouette design by children's book artist Tedd Arnold about a mother reading to children and Bethlehem , which is currently at the framer's: http://www.123stitch.com/cgi-bin/ite...l?item=00-1710 I will try to get pics of them up on my webshots album (ndjoan) in the near future.

((snip)) How about you? Meredith I'm working on MLI's The Quiltmaker, have it 2/3 or more done, just the little girl in red and a tad of the quilt left. (Yay! The blue is all done!) Also have Mill Hill's Blue Jay Santa in my purse, and it's slowly showing progress. Will finish it once The Quiltmaker is done. And my 12-year-old daughter informed me last night that she would like an authentic-looking Irish imigrant costume to wear the day she gives her presentation in Social Studies in about 2 weeks, so will need to fire up the sewing machine again this weekend.

Meredith I'm catching up on all the small projects that need doing: A Dimensions Gold Kit of a Geisha, called Mai A Dolly Mama that a friend asked me to make for her and The Sweetheart Tree "D is for Dog." This one is great fun and has a couple of different stitches, a few beads and a few specialty threads, all on a 5"x5" piece. Waiting in the wings a Toccata Number Two that's all kitted up and ready to go and The Sandy Orton Lily Sampler Last, and possibly never to be finished: A Cross Stitch quilt top that I started who knows when and an appliqué and quilted wall hanging.

Joan That's what I like to see in a post Joan - an url (if possible) to whatever everyone is working on - curiousity killed the cat you know. :-)) I just got a piece back from the framer's today and I love it - I haven't taken a picture of it yet, but you can see it at www.mirabilia.com - it's called Mermaids of the Deep Blue #85. Now I'm working on Shall We Dance - http://www.pawprintscrossstitch.com/dimples.htm - it's a biggie so it will be a while before it's finished. I have two quilts at the quilter's too so I've been busy ... and now it's gardening season - grooooooooan The weeds grow faster than I can pick them. Sharon (N.B.) |
