Joanie's Progress To Date

This isn't a terrific picture but I wanted to share my progress. I am almost done!


I have 4 motifs to stitch and a few more to finish. Hope you like my work!

New Fabbie and Colours

Here is a picture of my new colour choice, which I hope to make a start on tomorrow, I am intending to stitch 1 over 1 so should have a smaller piece of fabbie to fight with…lol!!

I am feeling positive with the new start……thanks for all your comments and messages, they were much appreciated.

Thanks Hazel for the pincushion/keep tip, I think I just may do that.

Hugs & Stitches

March Progress

Okay I count 42 of us who made progress this month. Well done everyone. Please check if your name is up on the sidebar and if I have made a mistake please email me at hazelhenry@hotmail.com

Happy stitching for April. I am already on my second motif this month. x

Thanks

Thanks for your comments on my last post.....I have worked out my spends and have decided to do it 1 over 1 so only needed a purchase a smaller peice of fabbie and have ordered some DMC's in 518 (6) and 519 (1), it is similar to Peter Rabbit's jacket on my Beatrix Potter Book Collection, I think with a smaller amount of fabbie to hold and the lighter nights making 1 over 1 a bit easier, I hope to get back on with this...I will have some catching up to do...so a hold on my smalls will be in the offing I feel. The other I will unpick at some point then use the fabbie for smaller projects so it won't be wasted.

Off away to Northumberland in the morning for a long weekend.....

Hugs

Not enjoying this

I have made little progress this month, I am not enjoying stitching the peice...not for the design, it is the colours of the threads, I am not happy with them but after 5 motifs it's an awful lot to unpick and I can't afford to get another peice of fabbie. I am going to decide on a colour of thread and maybe restitch 1 over 1 as stitching over 2 the fabric is just so big and cumbersum to manage...sorry to sound negative but it is just not "doing it" for me at the moment.

Bonnie's March Progress

February Progress

I am a day late posting as I had insurance issues to take care of before April 1st. I actually made quite a bit of progress this month. I am enjoying this more since I can see it coming together. I am glad that I decided to stitch 1 over 1 because I like the dainty look. (Even though it is hard on my eyes.) I really enjoy looking at everyone's stitching and seeing their progress. I see a motif that I haven't stitched yet and it makes me want to get my needle flying so I can stitch it, lol.

March Progress

March Posting Late!

Due to my computer's breakdown, here is a belated March progress picture! I truly stopped stitching on it about March 25th, so now I'm ready for April stitching.

Here is my Feb. picture for comparison's sake:

Happy stitching, everyone! Hugs, Deb

Margie K's March progress

I got a little more done this month than the previous two months put together. Yeah! I still need to find some sort of schedule that works for this project because I'm determined to finish her this year. :-) I'm stitching mine on 35 count Mushroom from Vikki Clayton using Winterberried regular silk floss, one over two.

February progress

April here we go!

Well ladies, all of us did a great job in March on our Miss Potters. I have to say that seeing them all starting to grow is really inspiring and motivating me to work harder on this. They are all so different and so so pretty. I am on track on doing ten motifs every three months to get this finished by the end of the year and I encourage you all to set yourselves a little challenge like that every month. So this month I am aiming to get three motifs done - that is less than one a week. At some point today I will tally up the number of participants and write up names. Remember to email me at hazelhenry@hotmail.com if I have made any mistakes. And if you're a wee bit late then hurry up and sneak your progress in. If you're really struggling with this peice and need some motivation then feel free to write a post and let everyone encourage you along a bit.

All the best for this month. Hope to see lots more progress. x

My March progress

Hello dear stitchers friends. It's march already and the time is too short. My progress is very little but it's a progress ;-))

In February , it was like this :

And this evening, March 31th , it is like this

I have stitched more for Easter and for my futur niece Jeanne that we are waiting for very shortly. So, I hope that April will give me more time ;-)

March Progress

Hello again!  Like many I have not achieved very much this month, but I am still confident that I will keep up and be finished by the end of the year!

This is where I was at the end of Feb:

And this is what I achieved this month. I  found the star motif, bottom left, really difficult to count and had to do a fair amount of reverse stitching!  

I'm enjoying the stitching very much and hope to do at least 3 or 4  more motifs this month.

My first post, Feb/Mar Progress

Hi

First everyone's work is great. I always enjoy looking at everybody's color choices.

This is my first progress report. I've been visited by frogs with this project. I didn't get my started until Feb. I'm using items from my stash so I started out on white 22 aida one over one. I didn't like the white so I went digging some more and come across old/antique rose 18 ct aida. This shade I really liked. I tried one over one and didn't like the coverage, so out it came I went with 2 strands.

Here you see two pics the first one really shows the great color of the fabby. I started in the corner and after just stitching a little I figured out that I hadn't left enough room. That was Feb work. I got tired of the frogs so put it away for most of March.






Over the weekend I started again, this time in the middle as seen in the second pic. I like the colors I changed to except for the red. Its the wrong family group and too strong. I'll be taking that out. I am also one row off on the outside circle so that will also have to come out.

Hopefully my April progress will show more instead of listing all my frog problems.




I'm still learning how to use my digital camera so hopefully my next pics will be better showing off the colors.

Terry's March Progress

Hi everybody! I've enjoyed seeing everyone's progress this month. I haven't done very much this month but I guess every little bit counts. This one is still such a joy to stitch.

This was the end of February:




This is the end of March:

Here's where I was at in February:



And here's March's progress:


Not a huge amount of progress, but I'm still on track for a 2009 finish. Like many of you, I'm aiming to stitch 10 motifs every 3 months to ensure it's finished this year.

Sally W's March Progress

Deb's march progress

Small progress again but at least there is some! I would like to be finished the inside motifs by the end of June so I should get a move on. The picture above is from the end of March, the bottom one is from February. Sorry for the bad layout - I can't seem to figure out how to get the pictures where I want them!

Keep up the great work gals! The samplers are looking fantastic. Also th SAL is really motivating me to do some stitching every month which is great. xxxxdebxxxxxx

February's picture

I managed to add 6 motifs this month, i love stitching on this, colour looks a bit washed out this time, must be the flash!

Well done ladies, they all look super

Brenda's March Progress

The picture at the top was my February progress and the one underneath it shows my March progress. I didn't get as much done as I had hoped to.
I am going to a five day cross stitch retreat this Wednesday to Sunday, so hopefully I will get quite a bit done for my April progress.
I am still enjoying stitching on this and love seeing everyone
else's progress.

March Progress for Sharon in St. Louis

Hi Stitchers - I hope everyone is enjoying Ms. Potter as much as I am. Just wish I had more time to work on her. I almost reached a milestone this month -- I am within a few strands of finishing my first skein of Belle Soie Rustique. By next month I will have added some stitches in my secondary color -- which I am still trying to narrow down.

The first photo at the right is my progress through the end of February, with my March progress next to it.

Happy stitching,

Sharon

Barbara's March Progress

As at February:
To date March:

Fabric: 40ct Newcastle tea-dyed Sand

Floss: Victorian Motto Pumpkins

Not much progress I'm afraid, but every little counts :)

DonnaTN's March Progress

Here is my Feb. progress.

Here is my March progress. It doesn't look like much, but for some reason that big bird motif was slow going. I hope to get a little more done in April, but I would like to work on some other things and I can't seem to find a lot of stitching time lately.

March progress

In march I went from:


To here:

I'm too lame to have the mst up to date picture, but this is as of Friday so it's not too bad. As of today the entire wreath of cream is in. The crown is in dark chocolate colored beads.

Did I mention I was a really, really slow stitcher?

Laura J's March Progress

I think I did ok for March. I'm really enjoying working on this piece. Now I have to put it away for a couple of weeks and work on my other projects.

Annemarie's March Progress

Hello dears,

Has it really been a month already? Judging from the glorious updates you have all been posting, it has! This is mine:


I rather dreaded starting the big flower motif because I had heard so many horror stories about it, but I must say I really enjoyed stitching it. I also stitched the small motif to the right of it and started the next big one, which is turning out yellow! These linen threads continue to amaze me. The colours look so different when you actually work with them! On the whole, this sampler is turning out a lot less pink than I had feared thought! What do you think?

March

This was the month February

and you can see that I haven't done very much for the month March. I had to do a lot of different things. I hope I have more time in the future.
