WIPped But Never Beaten! Mega Progress Report

 

First up we have Day 2 of Awwoo from PaineFreeCrafts.

The moment I saw this design I knew I had to stitch it and I've finally started!

This particular picture has been designed with the option to stitch the white background too. Personally, I'm choosing not to do that. I also think this decision will make the colours stand out more.

I've started in the top left corner.

When finished it will look like this:

Next up is my easy design I'm doing between the others. This is 2QT2BSTR8.

When finished it will look like this:

 Next up is a design from one of my favourite companies Tilton Crafts (yes, I know I shouldn't say that about the competition...but, really, who cares about that sort of rubbish!? Oh, wait, pretty much everyone else does! :-) )

Anyway, this is my progress on page 1 of So Lonely.

I'm still loving every stitch and I know this is going to be amazing when it's done.

 

When finished, this is what it will look like:

 

Finally, an update on Mother's Love, from my own company Eclectic Bloke Designs.

This is from a painting by Caroline Lord.

What you're looking at is page 1, and as you can see, I've managed to define the shape of the page already.

 I'm really enjoying this one too.

I started in the top left corner (right under my watermark!) When finished, the design will look like this:

 So Lonely, Mother's Love and Awwoo! are all being stitched on 28ct Charles Craft Monaco fabric. 1 thread over 1.

Finally, here is my Tanto so far.

As I mentioned ages ago, I use a Tanto mainly with kits, but when I'm doing 6 WIPs I'm finding it very helpful. As I cut a length of floss from one of my bobbins, I store it on my Tanto for easier access.

I may not get so much time to stitch any more, but I really can't complain.

I love charting the art I get given and I love the interaction with the friends and customers I'm meeting.

The sacrifice may be a little of my stitching time, but I think it's worth it.

HAPPY STITCHING!
