Both projects are looking great, Maggie. I especially like the green one, the design is really eye-catching.

Maggie, how on Earth did I miss this thread? Your work is just beautiful. I love the choices of colours . You're so lucky having a class close by.

That green piece is just stunning ! And I'm looking forward what you decide to do with the orange project.

They are both lovely, Maggie. The orange is bright and cheery and the green is so pretty with the shades of green and the variegated threads too. I love it.

Thanks all for the kind words. Its nice to get the encouragement from other stitchers.
I see I need to make a few camera adjustments. One image is fuzzy, and the color is off. The orange fabric is more of a terra cotta color- not as bright as it photographed. Ah well.. its a learning process.

All of my work has sort of slowed- other things going on that I haven't had my normal time to stitch. The weather has been so nice that I have been outside working on some yard project or another- cleaning up the patio, playing in the dirt.. I mean planting flowers, cleaning out the winter grime from my car.. just something to do so that I am outside. But I think this is my normal cycle.. too busy with other things in the spring and summer that stitching slows down.

My hardanger classes are done now. I think I am going to try and organize a stitch-together type group at the needlework shop. After our class was done, we all sort of went our separate ways. But I enjoyed the interaction with the other women. And I think a dedicated time will help me make progress on projects. And with other stitchers.. who knows what sort of tips, tricks, and techniques I might learn from another.

Wow!! That green piece is gorgeous!! Well done! And great progress on the orange piece as well.

Good luck organizing a stitching group.

I gave my green piece to my mother- she had it framed and I finally remembered to snap a photo when I was at their house.

[mags]

Oh that looks beautiful. Nice framing job too

[Mabel Figworthy]

Beautiful framing, really sets it off with the matting and all!

[Squirrel]

Absolutely gorgeous and so elegant. Wonderful stitching Maggie.

[Rose]

That is really great!!!!!!!

[Serinde]

That green piece is absolutely gorgeous -- so interesting, with all the different (and quite complex) filling stitches -- and the framing sets it off beautifully. I think you can be counted as a true hardangerista!
