Back As Promised

hello again..... my latest 7 days are finished..... this is how far I got on my Medieval Town Mandala..... this design is by Martina Weber-Rosenburg..... this was a mystery several years ago and this picture shows parts one and two..... well almost.... *grin*

this part took me 47.25 hours to complete:



it was really hard to put this down because I was really getting into it, but I am really going to try to keep my rotation on track.... I think it might help me get more designs done in the coming months.....

see you next week.....

Hummingbird Garden Center

I have several projects in a weekly rotation.... I stitch on each project for a week and then move on to the next..... right now I have 7 projects in my rotation..... I also have 2 SAL's and one monthly project going right now..... the monthly project has one more installment, so that will soon be crossed off my list....

here is a picture of the rotation project that I just finished off today.... there is still lots to go on this design, but now it's week in the sun is over..... it is the center portion of my Hummingbird Garden project.... it is a design by Martina Weber-Rosenburg....


just a note -- the hummers are stitched one over one...

A Framed Finish And An Update

the cooler weather is here.... this weekend we had to bring in the indoor potted plants that had been vacationing in the gardens over the summer..... it will be going down to 32 degrees tonight.....

the Spring Quaker SAL piece is back from the framer.... it's hard to see from this picture, but the inner edge of the frame is blue (matching the blue in the design) and the outer edge is black.....



here are 2 pictures of my Peacock Garden Mystery..... one is the full design -- part 11 is finished..... the other is a detail picture of part 11 meadows....





the last part of the design will be out December 1..... after I finish it, I will be doing the beads and crystals to finish it off.... and my year long project will be over...
