Jo's Late 2026 Stitching

Post by Steam.Jo »

September :shock: and I had not opened a 2026 thread.

I'm back on my Peacock:

Image

"Just" finished the branch & Leaves on the left. Earlier in the year I have been doing Fairies:

Image

I rather like these so I have some more to do:

Image

I had to buy the pattern & fabric for the Rendevous one and in case you are tempted by the little stitiching fairy be warned it is not available as a set you have to buy the threads and metalics seperatley.

Those are to go with the one I finished last year:

Image

I am planning that all of these can go in my Kitchen with my TW set of Faries. Oh boy do I have a reputation with my Faries in my Kitchen :lol: They go with my Birdies that fly round in my Dining room :wink:

Better late…

The peacock is coming along, I see, and all those fairies will keep you busy, that’s for sure. :P

I've stitched the main colours of the Peacock up onto the top chart sheet.

Next is to bring the tree on the right up onto the top chart sheet as well. Not forgetting that there are the backstitch outlines still to do on both.

There is about 60 rows of stitches to go on the centre panel. Thankfully on the tree there is more than individual coloured stitches at 4 stitches away from each other. The Peacock head is full of half, quarter and three quarter stitches just to keep me on my toes. It will be nice to finish this one I noticed some more of her's in my Stash I would like to do :P

I've added sufficient tree to be onto the top page of the chart:

I have not yet outlined the Peacock but I am outlining the bits of tree/leaves/pears as I go. Lots to go on the outside inculding the gold but hopefully with all my other gold thread work I should find it a bit easier this time. :D

Such a beautiful design. I think you are wise to be doing some of the outlining as you go — it’s such a chore otherwise.
