Wonderful work so far

Lovely work! I've missed this one upto now so have been looking through all the update pictures. Not much more to do now, well done!

I love this design!! It's coming along so nicely!! Very pretty

Beautiful work!!!!!!

I went a couple of weeks without updating any of my SALs, but let's just say my guild (WoW) has kept me busy the past few weeks and leave it at that.

I have finally finished my Garden of Miracles! Took quite a long time for such a small chart but I only worked on this during the weekend when I wasn't working on all the SALs (ToS and both Oakhaven ones) and I took a couple of weekends off.

I had a great time working with the Jobelan (my first time on evenweave) and this pattern was adorable, with the right amount of confetti to look lovely but not be too crazy and I did the backstitching as I went so I didn't even feel it.

I'll probably start on the companion chart soon, just want to get a couple of WIPs out of the way first.

Ah yes, forgot to add. I'm not religious at all so I removed the saying at the bottom, and decided to leave the saying on the top out too, and I ended up having to frog the border at the bottom to push it one row up so it looks even on all sides (the design had the bottom checkered border lower to fit the saying).

For a job very very well done. It is such a lovely piece. I hope you will take a picture of it framed so we can see how it looks. What is the companion chart? I will be keeping on eye out for that thread when you get started. Anyway, Congratulations on a great finish.

This is the companion chart that comes in the same leaflet.

Those are going to look lovely together. I am going to look forward to the progress updates on this one too.
What a nice thing to have done right before Thanksgiving.

That is lovely .Congratulations.

I'm gonna work out when I'll start the second one since in January we start the HAED BB SAL as well, I might wait until my Sakura is at least halfway done before I start this second one, possibly as a weekend project only again.

That is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
