Rose Garden Progress Report

Hi all! Here is the first WiP picture of my new obsession which I showed off in my last post. I finished one page of part 2 (and a little from the page below) and now am taking a break from over 1 on 25 ct lugana to stitch another of the Val's Stuff monthly cats. I got distracted last week by a new book by one of my favorite Sci-Fi authors, which cut into my stitching time. Who knew only six DMC colors could be so pretty! I really love the flower circle.




I am trying to stick to my rotation, so I'll be getting back to Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow soon, but also have another floss toss to show off the fabric I got for the new Chatelaine, the Hummingbird mandala.....only two silks (in front) might be an issue on the blue opalescent 28ct jazlyn, so I will watch them carefully when I get started, probably next month sometime. I still have to pull all the DMC for this as well. It's really hard to decide what to stitch when there are so many wonderful designs that are saying that I just *have* to stitch them!

  2. I love that swirly motif! And I'm so on the fence for the hummingbirds, but with so many Chatelaines waiting in the queue I really shouldn't... Have a great weekend, Kathy!

  8. Hi there,

    I'm just LOVING that flower circle and the colors you are using.

    Your Holland is gorgeous, too. A friend of mine is doing that. I've done plenty of other Chatelaines. Just finished Medieval Town, all but the beads. I got interested in Flower Power and saw that you had started that once upon a time.

    I was wondering if you ever did finish it?

    I was so crazy about it after I saw the hand dyed/painted fabric that I just HAD to have my own! lol
    I only started mine last week.

  9. Hi Narita! Thanks for the nice comments! I have not stitched on my Flower Power in ages, as it needs to be re-centered on the fabric. Saw your message on the Needle and Thread stitching board and left a longer message...please post some progress pictures there for me...I need some inspiration!
