Dwitt's SAL

[dwitt]

Ok everyone.... I haven't posted any progress pics of what I have been working on for quite awhile. Currently I am working on a pattern that I purchased from http://www.patternsonline.com" target="_blank that is a map of Idaho for my hubby's christmas present. He knows what I am working on b/c I am HORRIBLE at keeping secrets.
Here is a link to what I am working on http://www.patternsonline.com/Patterns/Pat.aspx?P=7986" target="_blank
I promise to post a update pic of where I am currently at later today. I changed the fabric to 18 ct Dirty Aida. I am loving how this color make the pattern just pop!
I will also post some pics of what I have been working on and finished.

Reason I am doing Idaho is that my hubby grew up there in Boise.... gonna have to do Georgia too (bet you can't guess why!) and Florida b/c his parents have a condo in St. Augustine.... gonna have to add that one to the map

They even have Connecticut.. and they list my hometown on it!!! I guess it pays to be the submarine capital of the world..

That's awesome!

This is what I have been working on this year and finished:
Scenic Farm scene, this took 14 months and I am giving it to my dad

some close ups:

Here is the last of the 3 chickens I did for my mom:

Eeyore that I did for myself, needed to do something different and it stitched up super quick! (still needs to be ironed )

Tigger watercolor thats not quite finished b/c I ran out of green and needed a break from the backstitching I am going to do a Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore that is the same type!

Here is where I am on Idaho so far:

Wow you've done a lot of fantastic projects! The scenic farm one is so detailed and looks great!!!
I love the Idaho one you are stitching now and the fabric for it is just fantastic!! Nice stitching

[rcperryls]

Wonderful projects. The farm scene is going to be one fantastic gift for your dad. Chickens and Pooh characters are great also. And the map is looking good. I like the fabric. It really is a great background for your map. You have been really busy and have great things to show for it.
