I join another SAL hosted by Nathalie - the SAL La Pensee Positive. Found a piece of white linen band in my stash wide enough to stitch this beautiful design. Here is my progress, we are at Part two of the SAL.
The band is 6 inches wide and I am using DMC instead of Nina's threads. This will be finished as a bellpull. Please visit Nathalie's blog to see this beautiful design, she has the SAL in several languages.
There is another beautiful SAL hosted by Paulette - Mary's Sampler. She has two versions on her blog. I am gathering my fabric n threads and hope to start soon! So many SALs in blogland ha ha!
I promised an update on Dorothy in my last post, here she is! I finished the Bargello band, love it!
A close up on the Bargello Band, beautiful isn't it?
Too many projects ongoing, I did not work on Sara's Summer. Hope to work on her after I finish the current SAL - Sorpresa 3.
I started on LHN's Little Sheep Virtue Series. Stitched it on a piece of unknown 30ct linen using DMC threads. It's too big, will stitch the others on 36 or 40 count linen.
I am very attracted to whiteworks after seeing Judy's gorgeous works. Currently trying my hands on Italian embroidery the Ruskin Lace/Reticello. Here is my progress on a piece of 28ct green linen. Very raw/uneven right? I am asking my friend to get books on Reticello for me, hopefully my embroidery will impove ha ha!
Love this teddy bear! We are making this bear at our weekly crafts meet. This red bear is made by my friend Sonia. Hope to show you mine in my next post ha ha!
I am crazy for scissors! Here are my recent additions to my collection... Love them!
I hope to post more regularly. Thank you for visiting and leaving lovely comments!
Happy Stitching!
Hugs,
Ellen
