Thank you to all of my followers for your kind comments on my Aeltie Claes 1673 by Essamplaire. It is a fun piece. I was able to complete all of the regular cross stitch of the bands on the left hand side. I am starting work on the part of the design with the running stitch. I really think I will change this to be a four-sided stitch since it will make it look a little bit more “lacy”. The running stitch that it calls for does not show up very well with the white silk thread. So will need to see what will work best.
My latest finish is Rhoda Hastings 1863. I was able to finish her on this trip. As stated in a previous post she is stitched on 40-ct using Hand Dyed Fibers.
I have also been working on the Celtic Sampler – Wallace by Needle’s Prayse. I am stitiching it on 40-count linen using the specified NPI fibers.
This one has been a lot of fun so far. There is no cross stitch in the whole piece. I have been switching between the blocks with Queen Stitch and the background stitch (all the blue in the center piece). I am saving the gold work until later so I do not crush it with the hoop.
I was on the on the road again until Good Friday so was not able to get a weekly blog update posted. I was in Tasmania, Australia (known as Tassie by the locals) – a little bit further around the world from my last post. Tasmania is a very beautiful place. It is the start of the fall in that part of the world so the trees were just starting to change color.
I really like to hike so on my next visit in May I am planning on spending the weekend in the mountains.
That is all for now. Will start to post weekly even if it is to say hello.
