| Santa's Buddies Designer: Angel Stitchin' Fabric: 32 ct Silkweaver Sand Floss: GAST and DMC |
Next up is my progress on Plum Street Samplers Gobble. I've included a before pic so you can see exactly how much I've done. All of this has been done during the holidays, a lot of it while we were driving home to visit family. The border is repetitive so it's a good one to work on in the car.

| TO DATE |
I didn't think I'd made this much progress until I took the piece off of the Qsnap.
Mind you, I do think I will have to change the date on it. It seems I was a little too optimistic with this one!
As for my new start, this one will also be featured on Becky's BAP Challenge. I've been itching to start this for some time now. There's not much to show but here it is in all it's glory: A Mon Ami Pierre Paradis Perdu.
I'm using the called for count of fabric which is 28ct and I found the perfect piece of Queen Anne's Lace. Unfortunately you can't see the colour all that well in this pic. Hopefully I'll get a better one next time.
I'm stitching this one with Vicky Clayton silks and one NPI silk substitution. It's been ages since I've used silks and I forgot how much I enjoy stitching with them. Too bad I can't afford them all the time!
I've also started another winter ornament but don't have enough progress for a pic yet. I've managed to get in some quality stitching time the past couple of days but I have a busy week ahead so I'm sure there won't be as much to post next time.
I hope you have all had a great weekend and you are fully rested after the busyness of the holiday season.
That reindeer is too cute! You did get a long ways on your Gobble. You are lucky you can stitch in the car. I do all the driving because I can't do any stitching/reading/sleeping in a moving car. Bummers!!
ReplyDeleteGuess we can work with each other on keeping up to date on the WIPocalypse!
Oh, your Gobble is coming along so nicely, Lynn. I really need to pull my chart out and stitch that one this year, too! Love the little reindeer peaking shyly from behind the tree! The snowflakes are a nice touch :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on that huge sampler--it will be fun to follow along on your progress this year...
Love your leanin' tree-very cute!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your cute finish. Love it how Gobble is coming along.

Cute finish Lynn, the beads look great on the tree ~ now what's with this leaning, come on! were you celebrating this Happy Dance with a camera in one hand and a glass in the other?!!!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely be leaning if I tried to stitch in a moving car, I can't read in one either!

I really like Gobble too -- that just might have to go on my "must stitch" list which seems to be getting longer!

ReplyDeleteGobble is very close to being complete. I think you got more done than you're giving yourself credit for.
