Desiree's WIP's

Post by dwitt »

:wip: This is the project that I am currently working on. I am calling it "Lovely Garden". This is what it will look like when it is finished:

Here is my progress as of 9.4.10:

And finally here is my progress after stitching for an hour or two yesterday :D

Hopefully I can get some more of the flowers done today. I am taking a break from the writing b/c I am dreading the backstitching!!!!!

Very lovely design and you've gotten quite far in a short time! :applesauce: I dread backstitching also, even when I try to do it as I go along. I even go so far as to leave some of it out if I think the picture looks good without it in some areas.

Beautiful!

I'm curious...why does everyone dislike the backstitching? LOL I must be a weirdo, I love that part.

I think it is more of a love hate relationship with most of us. We love that it brings out the finer details of your project but hate the doing of it. For me it's that I hate working with only one thread and the eventual likehood that it will knot on me.

What a pretty design! I'm no so sure I'm comfortable with the wording though.. I can't keep my flowers alive to save my life :shock:

I can't either. I planted over 20 varieties of seeds this year and only the zinnia's, marygold's and bachelor buttons grew :( So next year I will plant more of them. :)

At least with the picture the pretty flowers will never wither away :applesauce: :applesauce:

I hope to post an update of my :wip: later today! The pink flowers actually look like flowers now!!!

Here is my progress from this past week of stitching
Image
Started stitching on Saturday and realized that I had a visit from mean old :anotherfrog: :frog: So I had to restitch 1/2 of the yellow flowers. I didn't discover Mr.:anotherfrog: mischief until I was working with the 2nd yellow of the flower :( Most of the day was spent :frog: I almost set this :wip: aside and started working on another that is 1/3 done. That is how depressed Mr. :anotherfrog: made me!!!!
Will post more pics later.
