Time for "What are you stitching?"

I am working on Long Dog's Bhyr Deeze. It's straight xs, not even any backstitch, but there area lot of color changes and it goes slowly. Sara

I am just finishing up the Mountain Bluebird by Terrance Nolan and will start a small Dimensions Gold kit of a snowman. It is cute and done on navy blue fabric. Sharon in MN

I think I have finally figured out how to post to this group. I've been fo llowing it off and on for many years.

I'm taking Japanese Embroidery lessons and am currently working on Phase VI II - Maple Leaves. Very pretty but very intense. And to do something a li ttle less stressful, I'm working on Glendon Place's "Come Said the Wind" as well as a Quaker Scissor's Pocket my EGA is doing. Hope to see more peopl e post.

Interesting pattern! And big!!!

Welcome, Pat! I'm glad you got it figured out...we need more people here.

Can you tell us a bit about yourself?

I'm Joan, have been a member here for many years. I work in the university library at UND, have 3 grown children, 2 grandkids, a DH and

Nice to meet you Joan. I'm Pat and I live in South Jersey with my DH and 3 cats. I have three children and 5 grandchildren who I spoil rotten. I lo ve all types of embroidery and needle arts. I'm taking Japanese Embroidery classes and am on Phase VIII - the Maple Leaves. I also took a class in W Illiamsburg last month with the Royal school of Needlework on surface embro idery. It was great and I Iearned a lot.

I have followed RCTN for many, many years, back when a lot of designers, Tr ish Brown, VIctoria, etc were involved. It's a shame it's slowed down so m uch as I really enjoy reading what everyone is doing.

I'm still working on MLI's "Celtic Noel". Seems I've been working on it fo rever. Hard to get comfortable to stitch with the back problems and the st and I got in order to stitch from the recliner does not work. One of these days I will finish it, just not holding my breath that it will be done soon .

You might consider trying to sell it on a group like "sew it's for sale":

I am working on "Jack" by Ross Originals, a terrier puppy with a slipper. The head and ears have so many color changes its slow going right now. It looks like the rest of the piece will go fast once I get past the head.

I've been doing some beading and have been working on a piece from a round robin from Celebrations. Honestly just too easily distracted of late to stitch. Just busy with other bits of life. Brought a bunch of stitching with me to go to VA (where I stayed with Ellice K and saw all to briefly Donna L), but neglected to bring a frame or hoop and some how managed to need on for all of them.

LOL! Be careful what you wish for, Sharon! I'm sure you'll love it when it's done.

We had tons of rain in June but it's now warmed up nicely...and not too hot or humid, thank heavens! I can't believe it's already August! :(

Well, I've finished what I can on the birth announcement...just waiting for "Sprout" to enter the world for finishing. I already have the frame ordered, too. Sooo, I'm back to the Advent calendar for the grandkidlets.
