Flying Beauties and Mother Teresa - 1/13/2012 Update & Pics

Post by teresa95 »

Hey peoples! I introduced myself earlier and promised pictures... and here they are!

Image

This is a really old project, as in one of my first projects that got lost in my closet a million years ago old, and it would be nice to finally finish it. I still have the rest of the ferns, which are half-stitch, and three dragonflies plus all the back stitching to do. Hopefully it won't take long to do, it's only taken around 7 years to get to this point lol


And here's my other project, somewhat more recent:

Image

This is a surprise present for my mom. She's a huge Mother Teresa fan and I thought it would be a nice gift (also, somewhat cute since it would be from her daughter Teresa haha) Anyways, I started this probably two years ago and it too got lost in the closet. Before I came home for winter break, all I had done was the head covering (all the blue and white stitching) and the wording. Since I've been home I've done the face and the top part of the hand. Then I get to flip the chart over! Woo!

So anyways, that's my progress and project pictures so far!

That is really great and how wonderful you found both of them, along with the charts and threads still.

The Butterflies are lovely and bright and Mother Teresa is so very special and sooooo life like too.

Very well done.

Thanks everyone! I finished more of the ferns on the butterfly, and the upper half of the hand on Mother Teresa, so only 3/8 pages left!

I did an update yesterday, and here are the pictures!

I was able to do some more on both last night/this morning, so I'm hoping to at least be able to finish Flying Beauties before I leave for New Orleans next Friday :)

Image

And here's Mother Teresa. It's hard to make measurable progress when the person it's a surprise for likes to stay home, but I think it's coming along well considering how much I've gotten done while I've been home.
