As promised, Evening in the Park update!

Took over a week of stitching after dinner, but here's my latest picture update on Chatelaine's Evening in the Park.

Part 8 includes all four wall corners. Gates go in the openings, and the winter bare trees and lampposts sit around the outside of the walled areas. EP is now 2/3rds done! The fabric is a 32ct opalescent called Blue Mystery, from Silkweaver. Just the right touch for a rainy evening in old London maybe? I keep expecting 101 dalmatians sneaking around the corners!

Chatelaine UFO comes out for some love...

Hey all! I got out my oldest Chatelaine WiP/UFO to work on this month! I started it in 2006 and was stuck at the halfway mark, but in order to justify buying TWO more Chatelaine mandalas, I decided I'd better give the two in process some love while waiting for supplies to arrive! Plus I already had the Hummingbird Mandala all kitted and my reward for stitching on Evening in the Park (adding pt.7) was to finally start the Hummingbirds, which I got last August.

Next month I'll get out Holland Landscapes and my reward there will be to start the Winter Watergarden (more birds!). By the time the Chinese Garden Mandala comes out in April and I have my supplies for it, I should be well ready for my 5th Chatelaine mandala!

Those 5 plus my Rose Garden Sampler will rotate, two each month for a week each, give or take a day. In between I'll work on smalls. At any rate, here's the progress pic! (and a close up of one corner band of pt.7)
