This is a lovely design and you have made great progress. Look forward to more updates.

What a great idea now why didnt I think of just getting it framed in white then playing with the shell's first. Doh Perfect thank you!!

I was glad that I could get a good jump start on this - I took a week and a half off from all other duties to get this far - it just takes so long - well you all can relate, finally other people who understand!

Before I begin in the morning I snap a picture and post it - sort of a "My sewing picture log". This way my daughter can see and understand just how much work and love went into this for her. She is gaining a whole new appreciation for sewing now.

Pacifica Project

What an unusual design, great progress.

What a lovely design, and great progress, look forward to seeing more of this one

Wonderful work!

Lovely stitching and it looks great

wonderful work.

Could not sleep last night so sat in the living room till 5 am sewing and watching tv shows: Here is an updated picture as of today.

Beautiful work, and what a lovely idea to post a progress blog

I find the progress blog inspires me to sew more and helps me stay focused on one project at a time. Usually I am working on 2 or 4 of them but this one I absolutely must finish before October. The other benefit is my daughter gets to see how her picture is progressing and can understand how much work goes into one design.

I got the idea from someone here actually (wish I could remember who now) but thought it was a great idea. Since I was posting the pictures daily on my facebook page I figured I would do one in Photobucket as well.

Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement

Great progress!

Wow I'm amazed at your progress!! She's coming along so very nicely

Wow! You've done alot already. You won't have any trouble finishing it by October at this rate.

looking good

I seem to be so focused on getting this done I am letting other things slide. I have my next project picked out already

Here she is: Coming in 2011! Imagine the bead work I can add to her!!


She is from White Willow as well (http://shoppe.whitewillowstitching.com/ ... d_159.html" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank)

I am really excited about this one coming up. Just ordered the pattern last night. There are so many patterns I want to sew from WW. I use to do just John Clayton or Lanarte but since I found WW I am addicted

New Pacifica Picture posted next!
