Can you see, only a few over 1 words?
I am happy that all the satin stitch alphabets are done, they are a joy to stitch!
The other reason for Dorothy's slow progress is because I got distracted by other projects along the way ha ha!
I am at the final stage in my hardanger SAL. This last part consists of dove's eyes and buttonhole bars. They are all round the doily, between the row of klosters and the buttonholed edge. With multiple projects on going, it may take me a while to complete these!
A closer look at the little white flower, the edelweiss. Isn't it pretty?
My ornament for the month is done. I chose LHN Peppermint Twist, stitched on 32ct Amber Linen using DMC and overdyed threads.
Isn't this bag beautiful? It's a gift from my friend, Kristine. She even made a small pouch to go with the bag. I love them, thank you very much Kris!
Happy Easter!
Hugs,
Ellen

Good progress and the Hardanger is coming along nicely.
Ellen - I so enjoy seeing pix of your hardanger. Your work is incredibly beautiful and even. Thanks so much for sharing!
All of your stitching is just gorgeous - great progress!
The sampler is stunning Ellen! I know that the 1 over 1 on 40 ct is hard so taking a break from it is good, gives your eyes a rest! Love the hardanger and the pretty bag!
I have the same problem Ellen.
The verse on my Scarlet Letter sampler is over one although not quite so bad for me as my fabric is 36ct.
You are doing a beautiful job with the stitching so far.
Your Hardanger piece is gorgeous and what a lovely bag and pouch from your friend.

All your pieces are beautiful, Ellen! I understand the over one on 40 being a pain but to me, it looks great. I LOVE your hardanger piece - truly a work of art.
Great progress on the sampler. Congrats on the cute finishes.

Really lovely stitching, Ellen. I don't know how people stitch over one on 40 ct. I tried it once and it looked too crowded. Would a tent stitch work? Your newest ornament is so pretty--I've always meant to stitch that one, too. Love your new bag as well--lucky you!
Happy Easter to you and your family...
very beautiful stitching,

All progress are looking beautiful and wow! What a lovely gifts you received from your friend.
All your stitching is beautiful. The whitework piece - STUNNING! Very pretty Christmas ornament, the colors are so soft. And what beautiful gifts you received from Kris. The handbag and pouch look fantastic. I admire you stitching over 1 on 40ct. love Annette

Lovely stitching Ellen. Your sampler is looking wonderful.
Wow, your Hardanger is gorgeous.
Dorothy looks beautify as well. I love the smaller counts over one but it can be hard on the eyes.
Your friend is quite talented, the bag is wonderful.
Bisous bisous
I love all your projects. Pretty sure somewhere in my stash peppermint twist is hiding too. Will have to o digging for it. :) hmmmm, I like the amber linn a lot!
Dorothy is a beauty, but I feel with you about stitching over one on 40ct. It stresses me out too....but it looks great!
