I am working along on the little band sampler.
This week I did the drawn thread work with layered herringbone. And another small dab of goldwork - sheaf stitch this time, which is a partially couched stitch that works up very quickly in this thread (Kreinik #4 braid) since it's nice and flexible.
This brings me to ten hours on this piece and about the mid point. I do not want to loose momentum on this project, so I'm going to continue to work on it until it is done. That means that I will skip Millennium this rotation. I feel kind of bad about doing that, but I won't make a habit of it.
On the lace shawl I'm going to finish round 16 this afternoon. Slow and steady on that project.
On the quilting front, I finally got all the materials to do the hand applique on the Honeybee block, so hopefully I can report on that next week.
Linking up with Slow Stitching Sunday over on Kathy's blog where it's the start of the SEVENTH year of SSS. Lots of interesting projects going on in our group.

Your stitches are creating interesting Textures as you add each row
ReplyDeleteAll of the different textures is one reason that I like whitework so much. And this designer uses quite a few different whitework techniques, even though the sampler 'reads' colorful!
DeleteVery very pretty, it's really coming together. I've never kept track of how many hours I've spent on a project. Don't know if doing so would make me be happy or groan, lol. So often I'm stitching in front of the tv stopping here and there if things get intense on the tv......so probably wouldn't be very accurate on my part. But, for fun...I might just try when I start something new.
