Today is the start of the Cross Stitch Collection SAL. I am stitching the Edwardian Garden Party as my project. I found the magazine, made a copy of the chart so I can mark off progress, and then got the fabric mounted in a frame. I then did some stitching and here is my progress.
Not a whole lot yet, but it's a start. I am starting in the upper left hand corner of the piece. The design is printed on six pages across three issues of the magazine. I figured out that I need to stitch 1 page every 2 months or half a page a month.
The Nativity
I also did some stitching on The Nativity from Glendon Place. The picture on the pattern doesn't look all that impressive, but I love how the colors of floss look against the dark background.
If you compare this picture to yesterday's picture, you'll see that I finished Mary's face and hands and filled in some of her gown.
I hope everyone has a happy and prosperous new year and that it is better than 2014. This will be my first full year of retirement and I have a lot of plans. I'll let you know more details in the days and weeks to come.
