Believe

Less that 2 weeks away from Christmas and I am still working on Believe. A crazy schedule and travel have slowed me down. If I skip the background, for now, I should be able to get it in the shuttle before the BIG day.

My Silk Pulled Thread Stitchery Set has been done for a couple of weeks now. I am very happy with the way it turned out. I will be deciding on my next UFO project soon. (Way to many choices.)

SPTS needleroll

My latest stitching has been on the finishing of my SPTS pieces. Though I have been working on it for the past two weekends, only  the needleroll is done. You may be wondering why it takes so long to finish a needleroll. This needleroll  has a not so secret opening  in the back. So the needleroll is padded, with a layer of batting to hold the needles, and lined. The opening, a good storage place for a thimble, is closed by a ribbon running through a series of buttonhole loops. All of this is hand stitched along with the usual withdrawing of threads, and hemstitching usually associated with needlerolls. Each end has a row of Antwerp Lace. I am not sure if my stitching does this needlelace technique justice, but I love the results so far.

UFO Sunday

 One of my goals for 2011 was to finish at least one UFO. Of course then the question was which one should I chose. With the current stack you would think that was an easy question to answer, but on the other hand maybe that is why UFO exist to begin with. What should I stitch on next?  This weekend I pulled out Silk Thread Stitchery by Rae of Moss Creek Designs. I started this design many moons ago and promptly stitched the needle roll and portion of the scissor fob. The came the next project and the next ..... you get the picture. Anyway I now have all but one of the outer borders of the needlebook done. I started with the 4 sided stitch border then worked the amethyst  border and the inside pulled stitch border. It feels good to finally make some progress on this one.

A little hard to see the white on white, but all my  borders are done except the outermost border.
