Stitching Progress

I started a rotation (4 projects, 6 hours each = 24 hours of stitching time) in September and finally finished it on January 10th. I must have caught the stitching bug at that point because I just finished another rotation tonight - in 16 days! It helped that Peter had a stretch of night shifts in there, as I tend to stitch more (and stay up later) when he's working.

Here is what the pieces look like tonight. My last update is here.

Carousel (Theresa Wentzler)
Started: January 2007 (estimated at 206 hours completed)


I finally finished the horses!! I'm so excited about that. I got a small start on the bottom of the carousel but it will take a while. I'm already dreading the back stitching on this project ... ugh.

Celtic Summer (Lavender & Lace)
Started: Unknown but later than Feb. 2007 (?? + 36 hours)


Still working on the dress. I think this piece will be my next finish. Not for a while, though. I still have an intricate border and the word 'Summer' to stitch after I finish the dress. Oh yes, and the beading.

Nativity - Centre Panel (Marbek)
Started: unknown but later than Feb. 2007 (?? + 36 hours)


I worked totally on the ray from the star this rotation. It's coming, but it is slow going ... and I still have to do the rest of angel #1 and the complete angel #2 before I get to the manger scene! Have I mentioned this is all on panel #1 ... and that there are 5 panels?? This piece may go in my will ;)

Dance of the Roses (Lavender & Lace)
Started: Feb. 2007 (?? + 36 hours)


Not much to say about this one. I am still working on her massive dress.

Back to stitching ...
