OK - time for a round of WHAT ARE YOU STITCHING
I still have my two purse projects:
1. need a second pair of eyes to look at my backstitching color - which is a good excuse to drive down and see Margaret! 2. The yellow Australian wild flower on yellow. I did a tiny bit of the back stitching and wow is it going to POP when it's done. At home: I'm working away at Ladybugs and Bumblebees http://yarntree.com/cross-stitch/ind...nfo&products_i d=8138 Still not 100% happy with the shade of the lettering.....but I'll keep looking! --- Found a bunch of completed stitching projects that I'm going to press and figure out how to finish when I was cleaning up something else. --- I still have my not quite finished Snowflake biscornu - that will rotate in this week. Now that DS is finally headed back to school, I can set up a spot to do the beading and leave it if needed. Not possible if there is a threat of invading teenage boys. NEXT Cheryl |

NEXT Cheryl I just finished page 4 of Fractal 53. Taking time out to start a TW freebie, a hummingbird. Got the border done yesterday and went to start the bird....found I had missed one color when gathering the floss, found it in my stash but still need to pick up a couple colors today while DM gets her perm. Still need to "finish" the needle case. Nancy |

NEXT Cheryl The ladybugs piece is adorable! I haven't done much crosstitching in a long time, mostly just crocheting. Started a new afghan this week, but realized I didn't buy enough yarn for the pattern I chose. Also still working on finishing up a hooded crocheted cardigan in size 2T I started for my daughter last winter but didn't finish. She's now a 4T. So it'll be 3/4 sleeved cropped "bolero" by the time I'm finished. Thirdly in my crochet hot seat is "soap dog". Looked for years and years for this elusive pattern from the 60's my friend wanted re-created and finally found it. The body is done, but the instructions for the head aren't right (or so it seems). So, I'm stalled on it at the moment but that's a "must finish" I'll have to work around. Jinx |

Currently working on a cross-stitch of Renoir's "Two Sisters". I do this
while watching tv. Am also finishing up the border machine-quilting on a BOM full-size bed quilt. (Stippled the main part.) Trying different ways to do a pattern from a book, a swirly all along the border. Tried pouncing thru Golden Threads but the pouncing powder rubbed off before I got to the end of one side. Next tried tracing the design thru colored transfer paper. Not good, it was very faint and kept tearing the paper pattern. So now I've put the needle-punched Golden Threads paper back on and will be quilting thru that. Gonna try in on a sandwich first to see if it rips off like the ads say. Wish me luck! Any advice greatly appreciated!!!! KT. in MI |

I'm just finishing up a little snowflake piece by Seka. All that's left is putting in the beads and I'm not in a great hurry to do that. Waiting is a Sewing Angel piece that a friend asked for. I'll probably start that tomorrow and do the beads in between. Lucille |

Sharon (N.B.) ....Except for those of us who work on big projects intermittently with smaller ones, and the question always pops up during big projects times, which means it's the "same old, same old" project that keeps going *forever*, LOL!

Have never used that paper, but have done precisely that using the
cheapest tissue paper I could find. Quilted an entire queen-size piece that way and it worked like a charm. Best advise is this - if you are repeating the quilting pattern againa nd again, make a master copy on something like drawing paper or graph paper, color it very dark, then use it to make all the copies you need. I think I had something like 20 copies of the pattern for the entire quilt that I worked my way thru.

Working on a few pieces in rotation-
the 1st test for the Master Goldwork classification, it's about half done. the 5th test for the Master Canvas classification; it's designed, but not yet kitted up. Ink Circles Cirque de Triangles; about 80% complete There's about 5 or 6 others further back in the rotation, but I don't remember the exact names right now, and I'm feeling too lazy to go dig them out On Sat, 29 Jan 2011 08:57:53 -0500, Cheryl Isaak wrote: I still have my two purse projects: 1. need a second pair of eyes to look at my backstitching color - which is a good excuse to drive down and see Margaret! 2.

NEXT Good timing, Cheryl! Over the weekend I finished stitching all the baptismal cloths. Still need to fringe, wash and iron but.... Last night I kitted up Carol Singers (Victoria Sampler) and managed to mark centers and started whip stitching around the edges at lunch today. I'm contemplating gridding this, at least partially, since it's a rather long sampler (23"). That will be my project for the next few months, I imagine. Joan |
