Here is my progress so far, anyone who cannot guess which design it is now needs to go back to Needlework Class 1 for Beginners LOL. It is, of course, Home of a Needleworker by LHN. Nic the Obsessive Cross Stitcher passed the chart to me last year along with the threads. She had a giveaway on my Birthday and I think I scared everyone else away by saying I HAD to win because it was my Birthday!!
It looks a little "saggy" because it's stitched on linen and scanned on the printer! It is straight in real life.
Amazingly, someone else is having a Giveaway on my Birthday this year too. It's Sarah the Crafty Moo, check it out there. But you can't win because it's MY Birthday!
I've made some good progress on Papillon Around the World this week, I emailed pictures of Parts 1 and 2 to Yvonne for her Gallery and have now completed Part 3 plus a good bit of Part 4. I need to stop soon to stitch on the two Round Robins in my possession then I'll either continue with ATW or be starting Thine is the Trick or Treat. Evalina has suggested we SAL as she's started already. It will be fun to SAL with someone else, it's a great way to keep up with a project.
Finally I've just sent another postcard out for the Summer Postcard Blog Hop. Gracie's card went to Lesley. Check out her blog soon to see the picture and message. There's still time to get a photo in if you want to join in, click on the sunset picture to the right for more details.
For newer followers - I like to organise Blog Hop events where we post photos of our stitching to a theme. So far we've had:
Advent Calendar (each person was assigned a day and they posted a Christmas picture on their day)
Secret Stitching Sweetheart (each person sent me a photo and I randomly sent them to the others)
Easter Treasure Hunt (each person posted a picture plus a letter which spelled out a secret message)
Summer Postcard Blog Hop (each person sends me a picture and a message which is sent to another blogger)
The next event will be the Hallowe'en Trick or Treat, (similar to the Easter event) so watch out for sign up details in October.
Around the world is looking lovely.

ReplyDeleteAww, and I was so close, LOL! Shucks, I'll just have to, uhh, "borrow" it and make some adjustments. :D
ReplyDeleteATW is such a amazing piece so I love seen the progress on it. It also looks like a piece I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off of. I like to fondle fancy stitches, hah.
I'm awful at guessing these things. I don't even remember names of charts i wanna stitch. My friends know to ALWAYS send a link along when they're talking about something. LOL!
