Moving on to Kit 4

 Yesterday I finished the earrings on Kit 3 and decided to start right in on Kit 4.  It's just 2 sections- the peach triangle and the lower red section.  The peach section will go pretty fast because that's more Jessicas (which I just practiced on the earrings) and it's a lull before the red section.

The broach is Peyote beading which I have never done, but I have now watched 10 videos on You Tube so I am confident that I can try it without too much trepidation.  Then those curly things are packed chain stitch which yes I can do!

Here's the closeup- we are entering the land of Jessicas here

I have found that leaving your project out greatly enhances the time working on it!

Closing in on Completing Kit #3

I've now finished the left stripe and am working on the white ruffle - the edge is detached buttonhole using the same thread as I used outlining the green squares in the big section.

 Here's a close up - I love the stripe- it went so fast after the big section!

I am going to try and finish this section this weekend and then move on to Kit#4

Continuing On With the Tudor Project

 Here are the latest photos from Kit 3.  I am hoping that this section of Kit 3 is the most intense because it sure was complicated!  There were 4 steps which didn't scare me at first because of course it's an Amy project and I've been there before.

This is steps one and two and the beginning of step 3

Here's a photo of steps 1-3 completed - it finally looks like something

The last photo is step 4 with the green sections outlined in back stitch.

Moving on to the section on the left today - when this kit is done I am halfway!

Royal Pain in the Tudors Kit #2 Complete

Here's what I've done so far.  Today we pack the car for North Carolina!

Kit #3 is already there.  See you up there!

 

Happy 4th

Not only does Barbara Riley do awesome finishing, she takes better photos than I do!

 

Stash Finishing

 I pulled these 2 little projects out of stash to finish before heading to North Carolina for the summer.  All the big stuff is packed and my mind apparently can't quite wrap itself around anything bigger than 6x6.

This ornament is a companion to a Kelly Clark ornament that  I did last year.  I was planning on taking this one to Europe on vacation in March 2020- I'll bet you can guess what happened!  

And this is one of a series of mini flower pictures by Raymond Crawford.  I've done several of these as gifts.

Have a great week!

Next step in Kit #2

 Pattern couching...orange paisley is next

Have a Happy Easter!
