The main piece I stitched on was L&L's "In the Arms of an Angel", which I don't normally spend much time on:
I now only have the wings, some beading and metallics, and some of the 1-over-1 on the baby's head to do...
I also stitched on Ink Circles' "Celtic Ice" - a design I picked up in the US:
This is stitched on 28ct Windowpane linen, using Carrie's Creation threads.
This weekend has been a very rare weekend off for me - no Guiding activities, or work to do (due to the Half Term break this week), so I've been getting on with some stitching... But did I continue with either of the above designs..? No...I started something new!
This design has been screaming at me to start it, and so I started it on Friday evening, and finished it on Sunday afternoon!
It is a Forever in my Heart design - "Cross Stitch Maniac", and it is stitched on 18ct Davosa linen, 1-over-2, using Thread Gatherer Sheep's Silk threads. The house at the bottom is straight - I hung the piece up to take the photo...
I also started a Bothy Threads 'Gorjuss' design - "Ruby" - which is stitched on Aida...
This is stitching up quite quickly, but I doubt I'll spend all week on her!
I think I need to set up my rotation again... My stitching is quite erratic at the moment...I'm glad I've got the bug back again, but this is silly!
Happy Stitching!
