Two pieces finished and framed! Happy Dance! Whisper (on the right) and Atrium (above)are back from the framer. I hope to get them hung tonight. They aren't really the same size! Atrium is small, the stitched piece is just 5x5.

Progress Reports, March
Wow, it is hard to believe that it is March already! True to it's reputation, it is quite windy today! We returned from Reno last night so today I am playing catch up!
The day we left for Reno, I completed Whisper. I am very pleased with the way it turned out. I added an extra row of the diagoal lines in the corners, as I felt there was too much empty space there. Next, to the framers!
This picture was given to me for Xmas by a friend. She stitched it in all of my favorite colors. What a treat! When I tried to figure out where to hang it, I decided it needed a companion piece. So this weekend I made a start on that. It is "Atrium" from Rainbow Gallery, and of course I changed all the threads & colors! Progress so far is quick & pleasing.

Progress Reports
I have made quite a bit of progress on Jean Hilton's "Whisper", a 2002 design. It is coming along quite nicely. I have had a number of counting problems and had to frog multiple times! Part of the problem was the poor light on the cruise, and part of the problem was lack of attention! This pattern is not for the faint of heart! The instructions are not as detailed as they might be and so you have to study & decide how to proceed. After working one of each main stitch pattern, I decided to work all of the Rhodes stitches first, but leave the Mistake stitches till last. Then I worked all of the Waffles, then the Pinwheels (aren't they fun? I love to work these). Then I went back and put in the metallic cross stitches over the Waffles and outlining the Rhodes. Only then did I go back and put in all the Mistake stitches.
Progress on BOINK is moving along too. I finished ALL of the outlining (Happy Dance!). I also did all of the tiniest squares, using Threadworx overdyed floss #10341 for all of them. Next I will stitch the 2 bottom corner squares, trying to make them go with the top corners.
