Re: Wise Owl completed 2020
And did you ?
Both are very attractive projects, but very different - nice to try such a variety!

I did enjoy the embroidery style, but in this project I found them a bit too long to handle. I love the texture and colours that are created, so it’s definitely something I would explore more.

Re: Wise Owl completed 2020
Both are very pretty! While, I mostly do cross stitch, I do enjoy the occasional embroidery or project with special stitches. The variety is fun and provides a different kind of challenge. Looking forward to seeing what you focus on.

Re: Wise Owl completed 2020
Your Yellow Rose is gorgeous and the seascape one most unusual. Well done with both of them.

Re: Wise Owl completed 2020
Thank you everyone
I’ve started the Great wave! My little sister has already laid claim to it as soon as I bought it lol
I think will also start the Koi fish one soon because it’s so pretty. Bought a back issue of a magazine just to get the pattern

Re: Wise Owl completed 2020
The koi carp do make a beautiful design, so I can see why you bought the magazine explicitly for it.
Re: Wise Owl completed 2020
Two very beautiful projects and two very different projects, both beautifully stitched.
I can also see why the Koi are calling you, it's a lovely design.
Oh, and welcome to the forum by the way.

Re: Wise Owl completed 2020
Hi Garnet, thank you so much
Omg they are calling to me aren’t they. When I bought all the thread, it was such a beautiful bunch of colours with the turquoise and the oranges, it’s going to be so pretty.
On Saturday, started the Great wave
And today’s progression
Grey, grey and more grey! And still a lot of more grey to go lol

Re: Wise Owl completed 2020
A good start on your latest project and it is always good to tell yourself occasionally that every stitch you put in place is one less to do.

Re: Wise Owl completed 2020
Yes indeed squirrel, I will need to maintain this thought lol
In the mean time I’ve done this card for someone. I felt like I needed something to complete quickly. So I totally understand now why some people have multiple projects on the go!

Re: Wise Owl completed 2020
Oh that's lovely! It's a really sweet Thank You card.
If you feel the need to have some small finishes in-between your larger projects, you could stitch a small stash of pieces like this so they are ready to go as you need them

Re: Wise Owl completed 2020
What a gorgeous little motif for a card I love it. Well Done and "yes" it is good to take a short break for something like that.

Re: Wise Owl completed 2020
These are all lovely! And your needleminder is gorgeous! Those sparkles must make up for some of the grey stitching
I love the style of the thank you card - where is it from?
