August TUSAL and my Stitching Library

    

It's TUSAL time!  

Here is my TUSAL jar with my current projects:


I left the ORTs in their tins so you can see just how much stitching I got done this month!  They are really full which is always a good sign.




What's on my Shelf?

This is a new feature I'm going to include on my TUSAL post until I run out of books! I started a Page on my Happy Dance blog for my Stitching Library and realised what a huge task it was so decided to break it down to one book per month. For the next four years...

Title: Fantasy Cross Stitch
Author: Lesley Teare
Publisher: David & Charles 
ISBN: 9780715326893


The contents show this book does what it says on the cover!


Each chapter has one larger design and then several smaller ones on the same theme


Wizards and Mermaids


Something a little different - Zodiac signs for Native Americans.
I am not sure of how authentic these are but I like the individual designs anyway.
There are 12 altogether plus 4 elements


Lovely unicorn


I like this design:


This is a nice blackwork and gold alphabet 


And a dragon


This isn't my favourite book in my collection but there are some nice designs ideas and I have elements from the alphabet in other stitching.


Finally, another sneak peek of Miss Virgo:

Lots of stitching this month!
I'm always a little torn on Lesley Teare. She's not one of my favourite designers, but some of her designs are really really pretty!
