Stitcher's Garden is a message board that I belong to, and we have decided to stitch a "Vintage" chart from our stash. We were to gather all our supplies in the late fall last year and make a start on Jan 1. I had chosen Mirabilia The Lady of the Flag as I have wanted to stitch her for the longest time. I know my first post of her on Jan 1 this year was just of the chart and the supplies. I had hoped to get more stitched on her, but I didn't get as much as I had hoped. That's ok as there is no time limit on her....except maybe the fact that I want her finished and possibly framed by Oct when it's my husband's birthday.
Here is what I have started. I did find the center at the top and I had to count over to get started at the top of the flag pole. I counted, recounted and recounted.....and recounted again.
I thought I would post my other B.O.P. (big ole project). This is MBT 10 Commandements. I am enjoying stitching this one SOOOOOOO much and now that I'm almost finished with it, I just want to get it done so that I don't have 2 B.O.P. in my stash. I can have medium and small projects as WIPs but it seems to bother me when I have several of the huge HUGE projects started.
That' all I have to show today. I hope you are enjoying this new year and your stitching time. So until my next post.....HAPPY STITCHING!
Super start on Lady of the Flag, Brenda! I had been wondering about the Ten Commandments piece. Wow, you have made fabulous progress on it.
ReplyDeleteOh good. Thank you Brenda. This finally verifies that I am NOT a nutcase. I thought I may be the only one who does the recounting thing like that!
ReplyDelete10 Commandments looks wonderful!
10 Commandments is lovely, I enjoy stitching MBT patterns. Great start on Lady, eager to follow you're progress!
ReplyDeleteLove the Ten Commandments embroidery and the colours
ReplyDeleteI count and count and count also! It beats frogging later... IF I did it properly! Love your start--that is going to be fantastic! And the Ten Commandments is really progressing--congrats! I love My Big Toe designs. I have one framed finish to my left right now, and one flatfold to the right of me... and I am just sitting at my desk! Hugs!
