I’m using Cafe Au Lait 34 count Heritage Linen and Vicki Claytons’ OMG Red 1153 premium silk which was a lovely gift from my good friend Marg (who STILL doesn’t have a blog). Funny thing is I’m not really a snowbird as it’s summer here in Aus – but I can dream. I also started Paradigm Lost (Long Dog) as part of the Snowbirds SAL. I am using Needlepoint Inc Silks and I really enjoy stitching with them. This picture shows the colour of the fabric quite well. I concentrated a little bit on Lettres a mon Chat (see earlier post) before Christmas so I could get it done as a gift – but I also made some progress on Victoria’s Quaker. I hope to finish one UFO each month or two during 2008.Įven though I haven’t been posting – I HAVE been stitching. I want to be able to finish that During February so will give her a lot of attention during that month. Once VQ is done, I am going to replace her on Tuesdays with An Open Heart which has been languishing.

The motifs on this design are lovely – quite different to others I’ve seen – I am really enjoying it. Hopefully after tonight’s stitching effort I can put page 1 to bed.

Paradigm Lost is coming along nicely – I would have hoped to be able to say I’ve finished page 1 – but as you read earlier the frog visited me and I had to restitch quite a large chunk. There are three more Tuesdays left (the last one is the 29th) and if it looks like it’s close, I will keep going so I can finish in January. I am hoping for a January finish for Victoria’s Quaker. This is my train project and it’s benefiting from long and arduous train journeys (they’re not really that bad but definitely made much better by being able to stitch!) Sorry for the lack of updates last week – I was stitching though and I am making great progress on “A Quaker Study”. Oh and did I mention I just ordered a new car also ? A brand new Ford Territory!Īnd exciting Australian Open Tennis…the Frenchman (Tsonga) is doing really well….I am barracking loudly for him ? She understands me and the feelings of attachment I get to my pieces.Īs for the stash diet, everyone who knows me is certain that I wont be able to do it – but I am a determined little git and I have wanted new sofas for a year now and we’ve been looking and found them – I don’t want them to get away ? As I’ve mentioned I will be listing a heap of stuff for sale soon and perhaps we can work something out to make sure I don’t run out of stash….again anyone who knows me understands that the likelihood of me running out of stash is about the same as me winning a Grammy – NOT LIKELY!!! I have 6 other pieces to frame and I think I will just try and work in a long round trip to my former framer (that sounds funny doesn’t it) with whom I feel VERY comfortable. I rang the framer again on Friday morning and he didn’t respond to me until late Friday afternoon – it wasn’t completed yet and he promises me Tuesday. Thanks everyone so much for your comments on my ‘bad feeling’. Not much progress to show after last week – but there was a bit of frogging! I’ve not stitched much on Paradigm Lost this week – only a very short session, but perhaps tomorrow night I will stitch a little. I am also very happy with my fabric and thread choices on this one. I tend to agree with Carol – there is just something about the Quaker pieces which is rhythmic and soothing. This is Carriage House Samplings – A Quaker Study, my ‘train’ piece which is also a very relaxing stitch. I am so close to finishing Victoria’s Quaker now that I think I will make the best use of my three day weekend and work on it all day tomorrow with a chance of a happy dance…I hope Carol and Kaz don’t mind that it’s not Tuesday tomorrow (Carol is done, Kaz is very close too!) I am enjoying this project so much – it has been a really relaxing stitch.
