Re: Tiffstitch's WIPs/Challenge last update 2011

Love the hummingbird and tiger design.

Nice updates on the Tiger and Humming-Bird.

Though there's not much of the Penguin there is something appealing and different about him.

And he took longer than he should have since I had to frog about half of him. I miscounted near the bottom of one half! He was fun though, I like those Alessandra Adelaide "Friends" series. The outline animals are so neat.

I love the penguin and the tiger is coming along very nicely. sometimes the smaller ones with a lot of colors seem like more work to me because I feel like I'm changing colors more often.

Thanks! and agreed!

Great work on the tiger! Filling in makes me a little impatient sometimes.. but i'm sure it will really give the tiger an amazing effect

He is amazing!!!! I love the colors and the boarder looks awesome!!!!!

[Menai]

What a great challenge-and some super speedy finishes! Am a big fan of the penguin and the wine x2 (and actual wine too, ahem!) I may well follow in your footsteps on the selection of a friend's favourite colour! X

An update on Tiger. I was stuck with a stranded vehicle last night, and I had this with me to work on while I waited for the tow.



And I've started on Kell's Pog Mo Thoin band sampler. It was originally for an elderly friend who isn't that happy about being in a residence, but I may give it to the friend who drove me the 40 minutes home and then 40 minutes back to their house, having to cross the US/Canada border each way. And then make another for my other friend.

I'm using DMC variegated thread and working 2 over 2 on 28 count evenweave (I think). It's that sort of oatmeal colour.

Nice updates.
And your friend giving you a lift all that way home is what you call a friend.

[karen4bells]

great updates on both and what a great friend you have!

[rcperryls]

Both are very pretty. The Tiger is very well done and I love what you are doing with the variegated threads. I bought the first box of them, but have done very little since I tend to stick with charts mostly, but some of the designs ya'll do are just beautiful.

What a good friend to take you back and forth. Nothing worse than a vehicle which won't work when its supposed to!

I know I'm extremely fortunate. It wouldn't have been a big deal, but DH was away and the dogs and cat had been alone over 14 hours by the time I got home. But I did, so that's the important thing.

Mr Tiger is fantastic!!!!

The green is beautiful on that fabric!!!! Great work!!!!

[Mabel Figworthy]

The tiger is gorgeous!

[johannauk]

Your stitching is beautiful, I look forward to seeing more progress on the tiger, he's gorgeous!

[Nachstenliebe]

Well I suppose if you have to be stuck on the side of the road for a bit at least you have some stitching! Lovely work on both pieces. The tiger is looking pretty fierce!

It is always a good idea to keep some stitching with me at all times. Or at least some floss to wind on bobbins. That seems to be never ending.

I powered through some more Tiger yesterday


and the progress from Pog mo Thoin


No more time to stitch until tomorrow evening though.

[rcperryls]

The tiger is just majestic. And Pog mo Thoin is so pretty. If you do give it away it will be to a very lucky friend.

[Rose]

It is beautiful work that you are doing!!!!!!

[tiffstitch]

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with both so far.

[Cecilia]

Fantastic work on both projects. I love the colour you are using on the sampler. Is it variegated thread?

Yes, it's DMC 125, a variegated green.
