Drive By Post

Sorry folks for not being around much - busy time.  In a few weeks I will be able to resume my regular blogging activities.

Just wanted to give you a quick glimpse of what I have been working on; pictures are not the best.

First up - I Sigh Not for Beauty...all I have left is the over one verse at the top and the over one personalization at the bottom.  I'm making progress, but it's slow progress.  Remember, I'm not a big fan of over one stitching!


I pulled out one of my WIPs this weekend.  Remember this one?  The Mystery Sampler from With Thy Needle and Thread.  All I had done was the border.  The alphabet is almost finished and I've made a good start on the tree.  Lots of leaves need to be stitched yet!


Finally, this is a project that I am working on with others from Needlework Guild.  I'll have to share the details in a later post.  For now, you will have to try to guess what this is going to be!



So, there you have it.  Gotta run...late for work!

I think you've made great progress! I'm not a fan of over one and never knew there was a way to prevent the stitches from disappearing into the next hole! Now that I know there's a trick, maybe next time won't be as frustrating, or better yet, not be a next time.

Everything looks beautiful, especially I Sigh Not for Beauty. Just gorgeous! Are you starting a scissors keep in that next to last photo?

I just pulled my Mystery Sampler out a few weeks ago and just finished all those leaves...blah!! That's why I stopped stitching on it last year...lol

Hugs, Shar

Your WIPs are beautiful! I'm glad you aren't so busy that you can't do some stitching in between all the madness : )

Beautiful stitching progress! I hope things calm down for you soon.
Best wishes.

I Sigh Not is beautiful Cathy! I'm not a big fan of over one either so my progress would be slow as well.
I have yet to start my Mystery Sampler. I promised a friend to stitch this one for her but I haven't ever stitched on 35ct and I'm nervous about starting it. Sooner or later!
