FMTM is finished!

 From Molehill to Mountain is finally finished.  I started this in March of 2012.  It has been a long time in the doing.  The border seemed to take forever!
I don't know when I'll get it framed, but I'll show it to you when that happens.  Could be a long time though!

Kangaroo Completely Finished

Mr Kangaroo has been finished as a stand up, easel back.  My finisher couldn't resist giving him an Australian flag!  Isn't he cute?

FMTM, Border Progress #2

I have been working on the border of FMTM forever.  I haven't posted because it is just border & more border & doesn't change much.  But look, I'm on the last side.  Maybe I can get that done this week.  Or next.  Then there is a LOT of backstitching to be done around the dark teal in the border.  Sigh....

Walking the Water's Edge, Progress

Walking the Water's Edge is coming along nicely.  I am almost to the top edge, just about 2 more full rows, then filling in and compensating.
The progress isn't that noticeable now, but next time it will be!

Linda, Progress #4

I'm making good progress on Linda.  
Last time I posted, I though I was finished with the squares, but there were still stitches to do between the squares.
Now I'm working on the border.  I've been jumping around some because I wasn't sure what threads & colors I wanted to use.
When I looked at the big Jessicas, that go all the way around & form a circle, I first thought I would use Watercolours.  No, Watercolours is much too heavy.  OK, I'll use Wildflowers in the same color.  Well, Wildflowers would work, but the color was wrong (not the same as the Watercolours I'd picked).  Back to my stash!  I had nothing in DMC#8 pearl that was the right color.  But, oh look, maybe this Painters Thread #8 pearl.  OH YES, I like it, but I'm going to have to order more.  I think one skein will do more than half of the Jessicas, but I have ordered 2 more skeins in case the color has changed dramatically.

Trellis of Dreams, FINISHED

Trellis of Dreams is officially done.  I popped it into a Sudberry House key rack.  (The holes along the bottom are where the hooks go.)  It looks quite nice and will make a lovely gift this holiday season!

Octagon in a Square, Progress #4

Octagon in a Square is coming along, slowly.  I have a good start on the right side.  I will probably start the Mad Miters part of the right side the next time I work on it.  
This is not the fastest Bargello pattern I've ever stitched!
