Mad Miters for LV, Finished

The Mad Miters for the class is finished.  It is intended to become a glasses case, but I don't know if that will ever happen.  So, imagine a vertical line down the middle.  that is where it would fold to become a glasses case.  Fun that the 2 sides would be different!

Another Retreat Project, Progress

This small piece will hopefully be done by the end of the week.  There is nother row of flowers all the way around & then another border.  It is quite a cheerful piece to work on, and doesn't tax one's brain too much!  I used a full 6 strands of floss for the purple outline & while that worked fine for the slanted (backstitched) lines, it seems too heavy for the Continental lines.  I think I'll cut that down to 4 strands for the next one.

Another Retreat Project

I have been asked to design the Free needlepoint project again for this year's Spring Retreat here in Las Vegas.  I wanted something nice & "Springy" so I resurrected this design that I did for Needlepoint Now several years ago.  This time I decided on ecru glitter canvas, 2 colors of floss plus an overdyed floss.  This is the center part.  There will be more of the borders & flowers.  I think it is going to be quite pretty!
