Celtic Autumn - new project

[carolannkg]

Hi All

Well, I'm already to start on Celtic Autumn, I have all the threads sorted, all the beads and metallics ready to go, and this morning I hemmed the linens so it wouldn't fray. So.... this is it, this afternoon start to stitch. I'll post pictures of it when I've made a bit of progress.

I am really looking forward to doing this one.

[mandyrob]

Way to go! I'm so excited to see you bring this one to life! We'll be cheering you on!

[coffee_freak]

I love this series of designs! i have yet to tackle them myself..but one day..for now I'll just watch you all!!

[nettie]

Oooh another one to watch I love these. I'm beginning to change my mind about my next project to do one of these instead. *thinks about it cowers in fear at thought of beads* Maybe another day.

[mandyrob]

Do it, Nettie! Go Celtic with us! I've never done beads either. They can't be that hard, can they?

[sammy_v]

Love these designs, think i have the charts somewhere to, now where they are i have no idea. Will have to tackle one of these one day to. Cant wait to see it.

[agi]

I am impatient to see the pictures!

[~threadbear~]

Me too Agi

All these girls who tease us with telling what they are working on but don't have them ready for a picture are mean.

* throws self on floor and has a tantrum*
I want pictures!!!! I want pictures!!!

[carolannkg]

Soon Rose, soon... only thing to show for my progress up to now, is a little splash of purple, when I've got a few more inches stitched, then I'll put a picture up

Nettle, I've never done that much beading before either, and I'm a bit daunted by it. Not sure whether to tackle it as I go along or wait and do it all at the end...

[Rose]

I really was just kidding you Carol I can wait. Maybe not patiently but we can wait. Just get used to a bit of intense prodding when it comes to up dates we are a very nosey group and we love to see how much work you have got done.

[Mabel Figworthy]

Good luck, Carol! May the beads behave, the metallics be cooperative and the linen guide your needle to the right holes -- I'm looking forward to the pictures!

Mabel, we could use this as the stitchers' blessing or something - it is so very well put!

[nicgoss]

OH goody - can't wait to see any updates either!

[Becca]

I'm looking forward to seeing it, even if there isn't much to see yet. And Mabel, i love that, i agree it should be the stitcher's blessing or something.

Agi, you caught my thought exactly, couldn't have said it better myself! Mabel, you have a way with words that are just as inspiring as your creative designing.

[charmagne_capalad]

I'll be waiting to see your progress on this project, Carol Ann! Happy stitching!

[Mabel Figworthy]

I'm glad the words seem to strike a chord -- perhaps I ought to stitch it in Celtic letters like one of those Irish blessings (as it was inspired by Carol's Celtic Autumn that would be rather fitting, wouldn't it!)

[carolannkg]

I think we should definitely adopt your words Mabel.

Not much stitching today, as at work, hopefully some tonight, see how tired I am!

Managed to do a little more on this last night, hoping to do some more tonight, then will take photo to show week 1 progress - it will be intereting to see my project grow this way, have never kept a record before.
