Darth Vader - Stitch Line

A couple of weekends ago we were due to go away for the weekend to a caravan.  So when I was picking a project to work on next I wanted something I could work on easily without all my usual stitching tools.

I picked Darth Vader from StitchLine which is a monochromatic piece.  I am stitching it on 28 count white evenweave and after about 12 stitching days I finished it!

Gingerbread Emporium - Santa's Village - Country Cottage Needleworks

I'm happy to share another finish for the year.  Gingerbread Emporium which is part of the Santa's Village Series by Country Cottage Needleworks.  I am stitching these with the charted threads on a 20 count aida.

Into the Jungle - Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery


The March block for the Into the Jungle SAL was a Red Eyed Tree Frog.  I completed this block and added another two columns to the top of the project.  I am really enjoying the colours and simplicity of this piece.

Class Schedule SAL - Herbology - Armada Designs

This months block was for the Herbology class.  We see pictured a mandrake and some fanged geraniums.




The back stitching on the geraniums is not as charted I just freestyled it and I think it looks ok.

The Towpath - Gecko Rouge

I adore the artwork of Gillian Mowbray and was really disappointed when I found out her artwork was being retired from Gecko Rouge.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to afford to buy anymore of the kits of her work before they were retired but I was very glad to already have this one.

I love the colours in this piece and it reminds me of holidays we used to take as children on a barge on the canals.

This is the original artwork.


Here's my very small amount of progress.
