Love the hummingbird and tiger design.

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.

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!!!!!

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.

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

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!!!!

The tiger is gorgeous!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
