I got Number 5 finished Friday night and also washed the grid out from behind the finished numbers:


I remembered to get a photo of my windmill as well. I've be pleased with how much I've got done during my lunchbreaks, then on Friday as I was leaving work it somehow jumped into my bag, and then into my hands Saturday afternoon...

Fantastic progress on both, congrats!

Both look so great. Love the # they are looking so good together.

That windmill really draws me, I think it's fabulous!

After I posted the pics yesterday, I went home and did some more stitching on the windmill. All the full stitches are now done - I've just got to finish the half stitches in the sky.

Lovely windmill, and I like the EMS advent numbers

Just found your thread Tracy and love your work. Strange how the windmill one jumped into your bag to go home over the weekend.

I agree about your comments (pg 1) about Country Threads. I am doing their Down on His Luck and have also bought The Pioneer kit, both are reproductions of Frederick McCubbin's Aussie bush paintings. Big projects but will be worth the effort once finished (if ever).

I'm in Melbourne.

PS Hope you are not near the fires. They look to be bad ones what little I have seen on tv. Our news bulletins are not featuring them much at all, probably due to our ones from February still being very much in the mind with summer coming on.

I own both of these two as well (I own about 60% of her designs currently and there are a few on my wish list). The problem I have with her designs is that when I finish one I can't decide which one to do next!

I'm not near the fires, the most dangerous are in Rockhampton, and I'm in Brisbane.

The advent numbers are coming along well, you get them finished for Christmas, or should that be December 1st??
And the windmill looks quite photographic!

Just finished my windmill.

Will hopefully get some pics of it on Friday (along what stash I get from the craft show tomorrow... )

Looking forward to these pictures!!

The windmill is lovely, reminds me of the landscapes of my childhood where they are used to pump the water out of the lower lying areas of the land (which in The Netherlands I suppose is about 90% of the country ). I like the contrast between the metallic angularity and the flowing lines of the landscape!

Well its not Friday but I have finally got a final pic taken of my Windmill:


I've also got another couple of the EMS numbers finished, but these are now on hold for a couple of weeks while I get some Christmas presents stitched

I the windmill and the numbers are so attractive!

Your numbers are really going quick. The windmill is really nice. Great pattern.
