Ghostly Mandala - Update 1

As soon as I finished the Gator Logo, I picked this up to work on. This is from the Halloween 2014 issue of Just CrossStitch magazine. The pattern is by Tracy Horner of Ink Circles. I started this Saturday, January 24, 2015.

Gator Logo - Update 3

Just more filling in with color. Slow going, since it is a lot more stitches than it looks.

Gator Logo - Update 2

I have finished the blue outline (and all of the blue I will need for this project) so the rest of this project is basically filling in the spaces with color.

Gator Logo - Update 1

Well, since I ran out of the variegated floss I was using for Orchid Intrigue, I started another project. A friend of mine at work has been asking for a University of Florda Gator logo for a while, and I found a great pattern on DeviantArt. This is my progress since January 6. I am working on 22 count white Hardanger.


Orchid Intrigue - Update 1

As the first official project of the new year, I chose a piece from the February 2015 Just CrossStitch magazine entitled "Orchid Intrigue," by Beth Ann Seal of Summer House Stitche Workes. it is a nice, symmetrical little piece requiring the Briar Rose floss from The Gentle Arts. I ran out of this variegated color, so while I wait for the reinforcements to show up, I am at a stand still for the moment. I am stitching on 28 count beige linen.
