Another St. Pete Update

got part of another side on my White Nights in St. Petersburg.... as you can see, I really don't like the yellow buildings, but I will be working on them next.... have to get them done or I'll never finish this..... *grin* I joined a Yuku group that is challenging each other to finish a Chatelaine design that we had put to the side..... I think this group might help me to get this done..... I think it came out as a mystery in 2007.....

White Nights in St. Petersburg

I decided to work on this project again..... it came out in 2007.... it is a design by Martina Weber-Rosenburg..... it was a mystery in 2007 but I got terribly behind and put it aside.... now there is a new Yuku group that is trying to get UFO's finished up..... I still have a ways to go, but at least each stitch I add will get me closer to the finish.....

One Finish and an Update

just have a minute but wanted to share another finish and an update.....

I got Brian and Sue's Anniversary Sampler back from the framer and wanted to share it before I box it up and send it off to them....   this is a design by Victoria Sampler and I used the thread pack that they suggested.....    I've done this twice before for my other 2 sons, Marty and Eva for their Anniversary and Doug and Arienne for their Wedding.....

The Family Sampler SAL by Little House Needleworks is the update.... this is a really neat design where you have to be creative and make it match your own family..... will update you in again soon, so you can see how it's coming along....

561, 562, 563 and Done!!

thot I'd share a picture of my Peacock Garden Mystery..... I finished the border, which is part 10..... would you believe there are 563 Rhodes stitches in this border..... it called for 1 strand of the variegated thread for the Rhodes stitches, but on my 28 count fabric they looked too thin, so I did them with 2 strands..... turned out much better......

2 more parts to come and the mystery will be finished..... then I have to do all the beading..... will upload another progress picture when part 11 is finished in November.....

Struck Out for the Edges

Hello again..... here's another update of my Hummingbird Garden by 'Chatelaine'..... since this isn't a mystery, I got the whole chart at once..... and having no discipline, have moved out to see what the edges will look like.... I know, I know, I have to get back to the center again, but..... *grin*

I've put this away till I get part 10 done of the Peacock Garden Mystery by Chatelaine finished..... will upload a picture of it as soon as it's done..... after this, just 2 installments left to go -- and then the beading.....
