Current Project

Okay. We need needlework posts to make the stupid one disappear. I'm
game.

What's your current project? Name one. I mean one. I know I've been
guilty in the past of answering this question with multiples. But
there should be one project that's on top of your stitching pile. What
is it and why is there?

Okay - I'll help. I just finished stitching a bunch of little
hangings, about 6 x 7" - using my twig hangers - for a fund raiser
for our local animal shelter. They were all little animals, with a
humorous twist, done on burlap for a more primitive, light-hearted
appearance.

Put Cob Cottage on hold till I got the animal shelter project done,
but now getting back to it. Also, still working on a monochromatic
Quaker sampler in 2 shades of blue on dirty linen. It is one strand
of floss over 1 thread because I am using a very fine count linen.
I have decided I will never stitch anything that tiny again unless I
have microscopes inserted in place of my eyes.

I am wearing my half-readers in addition to my regular glasses, and
using my Ott (daylight) lamp plus a regular floor lamp so I can see.

My crazy quilt pillow. It's a good way to experiment with different
stitches and materials, without all the work having gone to waste. I'm
eying one of the Jane Nicholas Dragonflies for it, which would be a
first attempt at stumpwork.

Pooh.

It's there because babies can't wait, because it's almost done, and
because I've grown to hate all those fractionals and want to get it in
the mail ASAP so I never have to look at it again.

For me it's a an old Dimensions Kit called "Exquisite Lily Sampler." Why
it's on top of the pile now is because there's an empty spot on the wall
where it will fit in perfectly.

Jennie Jean by Amybear Needlepoint.

Lots of laid stitches, which I love. Beautiful, bright colors. I love
the piece.

I REALLY hope to finiah the Elizabeth Designs "Winter" Sampler, maybe
this afternoon!! I have a half-dozen silk leaves, and some eyelets to
do, and it will be done. This will complete the set of four seasons.
The other three are at home, framed, and when I get back to Florida, I
shall have my framer use a frame that marries in with the rest of the
series. This has tken about a year, on and off.

Same old needlepoint I've had going for months. Castoff kit from a
friend who hated it after ten minutes and sent it to me. I gave up
trying to follow the chart, and am just winging it on the flowers.
NInety nine shades of blue and I'm certain I've already screwed up.
I fear I'll run out of background and will have to scour the land for
a match. The framing will be expensive and am not even sure where
it'll look good in my house. Maybe a pillow? Gee, I'm talking
myself out of working any longer on it and may just toss it, but I've
put a lot of hours into it.

No other projects at this time. I hate to run 'em concurrently.

A quilt, for the Kidlet. I've still got two blocks to quilt (by hand)
and some finishing tweaks but finished one block this morning. There
are 15. Er, 16. Or will be, once the main is done. I'd like to turn it
into a quillow.

Eons ago (many years!) I had a stitch friend named Barb in England.
She sent a cat pillow panel piece and I'd like to use it as the
quillow part. The colors look well together. Oh, and still need to
make th epillows too (matching) -- blocks ddone, but nothing else .

In my spare time. Hahahah.
