As my other thread is getting quite full I thought I'd open up a new one dedicated to my 2018 stitching.

I'll include my two finishes of 2018 as well as the new project I just re-started working on. I started it in September of 2017 but didn't make lots of progress on it. This time, I'm determined to finish it or at least make lots of progress.

My first finish of 2018, Mugs of Warmth by Viktoriya Ivchenko.



And my latest finish, Etude aux Cerises by Veronique Enginger.



This is the one I'm working on now, Front Porch Paradise by Paula Vaughan. I love her designs, but for me it's rather difficult.

A very decorative start to the year!

Your new project will be great. I also love Paula's designs. Happy stitching! I will be looking forward to your updates.

Your finishes are lovely and I'm happy to see them again. I also love Paula Vaughens designs, especially the floral/garden scenes. I made an afghan years ago for my daughter with a variety of her florals. Actually made the afghan so I wouldn't have to decide between the designs. Don't have a picture of it.

Remember Paula's designs are like everyone else's: One stitch at a time!

Beautiful finishes and so early in the year too. I too love Paula's designs but have yet to stitch one. Maybe one day.

Wonderful creations. Must have been hard to stitch on the dark born but great picture.

Thank you!

I've been stitching like crazy this last week and have made quite some progress on my piece. It's so enjoyable to stitch.

Beautiful work Sina!

Lovely and colourful!

Can I pull up another chair and sit on that front porch, please? What a super design.

That is looking great and very interesting to see it 'come to life' under your needle. A lovely update and yes you "have stitched up a storm" and beautifully too.

Beautiful update!!!

Carole

Wonderful work you are progressing well with this one

Very pretty so colourful. Will be a lovely picture when finished .

you have made beautiful progress on the porch it is already looking inviting

Thank you so much for all the lovely comments! I haven't been on here for a while so I apologize for not replying earlier.

I haven't stitched too much but still managed to finish two smallish designs and work some more on my Porch.

The first one I stitched as my Easter piece this year - I simply love these cute little bunnies! The design is called "Hasenschule" and it's by Christiane Dahlbeck.

Next up I fell in love with this piece called "Wiesenblumen" by Cornelia Papesch. If you know me you understand that I just had to stitch these!

And then I decided to work a little more on my PV piece. The first picture shows my progress somewhere at the beginning of May and the second one is my progress as of today.

Wow Sina these are amazing! I love your stitching and these are just wonderful! Those bunnies are adorable!!!

Beautiful work, the bunnies are serioulsy cute.

The terrace is coming along beautifully and your stitches are so neat and even.

Your poppies are gorgeous, simply gorgeous.

Well done

Great stitching in all of them and I just love that bunnie - he is so intent on what he is painting. Love it.

Your certainly have made grand progress on your bigger project and its lovely to see all the colours coming to life.

Absolutely stunning stitching!!! Really love that bunny!!!
