So - what are you stitching
I've been stitching away at a baby dragon alphabet. I've also spent a little
time on Bouquet for Cheryl in the DMC variation dark green. I've also got a purse project that hasn't been touched since lacrosse practices ended. But since DD is going to a lacrosse clinic, I guess I'll have the chance. Cheryl |

Cheryl I'm working on Lora Perin's Amethyst Dreams, in Donna's luscious colorway of black/silver. Very dramatic and interesting and probably my last geometric needlepoint/bargello piece for a while.

Cheryl While I haven't stitched since before the deluge last week, I've been working on Little House Needelworks "The Bookshelf." I've spent my time cleaning up the yard and the basement after 4 inches of rain in less than 6 hours made quite a mess. We had a river going down the street, over the curbs. Fortunately we're on the high side and only had water that seeped below the window wells and the usual back wall of the cellar. Neighbors lost furnaces, and pile of stuff.

Cheryl Big freaking model for X's and O's (Jo Gatenby). It's going to take me until at least September or October. I started it in April, and am spending at least an hour a day (often 3-4 hours) on it. Part of it, is that I'm proofreading the chart as I go, and marking all obvious errors or omissions. Quite cute pattern though. I'll ask Jo if I can post a picture at RCTNP when I'm finished the stitching. MargW |

Cheryl I'm just working on a cheap little kit (I think Dimensions) that caught my eye while wandering the aisles at Joann's. It's a little piece of just a hot pink "M" with a little princess crown of gold beads on the top of it that'll be perfect stuffed into a little decorative pillow for my daughter. I thought it'd be a quickie do, but I never seem to find much time to stitch in order to get it finished. I'm also working on finishing up another crocheted blanket for her that I started after she was born (blanket #3). I've been having a lot of trouble with my hand and arm the past few weeks which is making crocheting difficult (stitching too). Hopefully that goes away soon--I have no idea what's causing it. Jinx |

So - what are you stitching
not stitching at the moment, but acquiring some interesting stuff. I just
ordered some orange and yellow checked fabric and the threads in pinks and purples to complete a piece from Stitch Graffiti (Heather Holland Daly of Monster Bubbles) --Follow your Truth. And I ordered in the whole set of Pride and Prejudice Samplers we talked about earlier this year (The Stitching Parlour, IIRC) but those will be a winter pleasure. Traditional Stitches in Calgary is my source for all these goodies--fellow Canadians take note, they are very very good. I do need to start something--was stash searching last night. I think it might be Monster Bubbles Lizzy Border design, which suits my current mood entirely. Dawne |

Cheryl I finished an OLD WIP -- a waste canvas design on a sweatshirt. A cat, of course. I just got tired of looking at it taking up space and decided I would drop everything and do that. It is an Imaginating design and is very cute. I pulled a bunch of the wc threads because I was bored and have just now washed the sweatshirt. I've left some of the wc in so that I can take the piece to my Needlework Group in a few days and show them how to remove the wc. Photos to follow once I get the whole thing done. I also finished the Tooth Fairy pillow for the SMDGD. She's lost 2 teeth so it's about time I get that ready for her!! It's a Sweetheart Tree design and very cute and easy to work up. I added a bunch of blending filament (039? the opalescent one) to the wings and changed the color of the beads. I also used some of the fiber that I dyed in Catherine Jordan's class a few years ago for the border and it looks very nice if I do say so meself :-). I'll take photos when I get the sweatshirt done and then do them at the same time. I'm about to go start in again on my final seasonal bell pull. It's the Spring design -- one of four from Calico Crossroad. This is the stuff that Janet (my stitchin' buddy) gave me the banding and hardware for as my Christmas gift several years ago. They are all done in silks and I changed a lot of the colors to go with my decor. They are really pretty designs and I totally love the way they turn out. Once that is done, I want to get back to the needlepoint cats that my friend Valerie gave me the supplies for as my Christmas gift -- before Janet ever gave me the stuff! Anyone who goes through the Nordic Needle catalogue has seen this piece. It's a silhouette of a tall sitting cat in black. The background is sectioned off using straight black lines and the sections are stitched in Needle Necessities fibers. I've got the black lines done and that's it but that's the hard part -- have to be careful about counting. Now it's just a matter of filling in the empty areas of color -- no counting at all! That's it. Lots of sewing lately -- fixing stuff and doing things long promised for family & friends. Have to make the window treatments for my DSis' GS, prep the kimono silks for DD's jacket and decide on the fabric for my winter quilt that I will take to Lizard Land when I go next month. Lots of stuff to do and here I sit on my dead, lazy Irish tuchas -- LOLOL!
