Stitching update

I started my first cycle of this rotation on March 31st and finished tonight. 16 days and 24 hours of stitching ... not too shabby! I have really been in a stitching mood lately and am enjoying myself. Peter goes back in for his week of nights starting Monday, so that will contribute to my hours on this next cycle.

Here are updated progress pics ...

Carousel (Theresa Wentzler)
Started: January 2007 (estimated at 176 hours completed)

I am not looking forward to the backstitching on this picture!!

Celtic Summer (Lavender & Lace)
Started: Unknown but later than Feb. 2007 (?? + 6 hours)

I have started highlighting my pictures as I go. I find it saves so much time trying to figure out what stitches have been done. Of course it means I have to copy all my patterns, but I like to do that anyway to avoid ruining the original.

Nativity - Centre Panel (Marbek)
Started: unknown but later than Feb. 2007 (?? + 6 hours)


The more I work on this, the more I realize how huge it is! Thankfully this rotation I did mostly with DMC and avoided the Kreiniks.

I got a colour photocopy of this pattern at Staples with an hour left on this rotation. It is so much easier having an 8 1/2 x 11 to work with instead of the massive pattern! I can now highlight what I've finished ... and I don't have to flip over the pattern to read the symbol legend. Win, win!

Dance of the Roses (Lavender & Lace)
Started: Feb. 2007 (?? + 6 hours)


This is a pattern I still have to photocopy. I feel like the skirt on this girl will stitch up really quickly.

Enough typing ... back to stitching ...
