great start Jenny

heres my update, not much to look at, but I knew I would hate doing the borders (i am proving myself right on this one

) so I decided to get them out the way first. But I am pleased with my progress

The little amount border I did was painstaking (to much counting)you deserve a big

you have done loads!! I was good for a while and started with the border.............then got alittle sidetracked by the pretty little motif in the corner

to everyone so far! i can't post photos cause of my broken pc..lol. I started where Jenny did..

the top left block is done, the top middle is done and I added beads. I started the sewing box under that in the middle..and almost done w/ that.

I do the border stitches first then stitch what's inside the box..if that makes sense..lol
this is a lovely fast stitch! tomorrow though, I work on my dragon

Great starts, everyone! I'll post pics of mine a little later today. I didn't get that much done yesterday. I got sidetracked by some patterns online and printing stuff off.

Well done Kins for gtting the first picture up

and well done to all who posted updates -- it is so interesting to see how differently each of you tackles this project, and everyone else who has joined in no doubt does it differently again; what a great SAL this is!

Rose · Post by **Rose** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 3:42 pm

As everyone has already said this is a quick stitch. I really like the way it is coming together. It was hard to stop and go to bed but since I still have to work I had to.

Here is my up-date for last night. Will post again next week.

I can't wait to see how these all look when they're finished. You guys are going to get through this so fast.

Busy_B · Post by **Busy_B** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 4:18 pm

Rose, I love the colors you've chosen!

Here's my first pic. Like I said earlier, I didn't get very far with it. I hope to get more done today.

coffee_freak · Post by **coffee_freak** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 4:57 pm

oh rose i love your colors!!

i'm giving this to my aunt who used to stitch..and can no longer stitch due to a problem w/ her thumb and wrist...the colors fit w/ her home..so i'm leaving as is..lol

I started with top left corner, but could only do about half of the block, the X-s, and fell asleep.

I was too tired. But tonight, I will finish that first block, at least that's the plan, and then post a picture.

Mabel Figworthy · Post by **Mabel Figworthy** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 5:39 pm

Great to see the different colour choices!

Agi, I hope you're getting enough sleep? Do look after yourself!

Thank you for your concern, Mabel. I have to get up early, and find it difficult to go to bed in time in the evenings, because that's my stitching and reading time. But usually I am OK with this.

Well I have some bad news. My boyfriends jeep broke down again and we had to spend a ton of money to get it fixed and so unfortunately I am not going to be able to buy any supplies for awhile.

So I am going to have to hold off on doing this piece. But I will enjoy watching all of you stitch this piece! (Thanks again dawn for the magazine..I feel really bad now since I won't be able to stitch this just yet!)

I can sympathize. We had to spend a little over $250 over the weekend on DH's truck.
