stitchin away…

Well… I finally got the ABC Calligraphie Rouge pattern by Compagnie des ouvrages, from The French Needle… what a lovely kit!  I started this somewhere in the middle to end of January.  I’m stitching on it as I feel moved… and often times after work, that is rare, but it’s still got some going on, which always inspires me to keep going.

Another little start I did about mid October of 08 is a little four patch, called “Patch Red 4″, by Dessins DHC, albeit I’m doing mine in green, which after seeing them online now at the link, I think I wish I would  have chosen red as well.   I think I chose green because I am planning on stitching Moulin Rouge, and thought the variation would be pretty.  Here is a pic of where I’m at on the little thing…

Let’s see… what else am I stitching on?  Well… I’ve only gotten a little farter on my Windmills from Full Circle, but as you know, every little stitch counts.  Here is where I was, and as you can see, I’ve added a couple more rows of stitches…  I did notice a boo-boo, in that in my last row, I should have had a row of words between the very last row and the one above it, but I’ll just put my words after this last row, and then add another special row before the next green swirly things.

Another update is how I’m coming along on my Angels Song by Shepherd’s Bush (my ultimate favorite place to go and shop).  It bears repeating that this is the sister pattern to the Emmanuel’s Song that I stitched for my brother and his wife, so isn’t that just fitting?  Anyway, the last time I posted  a snap of the progress on this, I had gotten to this point, as seen in this photo, and here is where I’m at now…

I’m not exactly speeding along, but slow and steady wins the race.  So, this is where I’m at with things.  Progressing at a snails pace, but progress is progress, and I shall enjoy stitching now that I have made my blog current.  Hugs and stitches.
