Beaded Dragonfly Tile Update

I have finally gotten Beaded Dragonfly Tile out again; I was waiting for summer to get here, so I have actual daylight to work the black fabric with. When I signed up for this and got going on it as soon as my supplies all arrived, I got the middle darn close to done by the middle of April, 2013:

Beaded Dragonfly Tile as of 4/16/13 - fibers & beads as charted, on 28ct black jobelan

And then I didn't touch it again all last year, because I got into a serious FINISH IT mode, and worked on other things, as well as spending time on my bigger Chats. But finally, after taking a sampler break after finishing the massive part 3 of Desert, I decided it was time to get the Dragonfly back out last Thursday, and worked on getting the inner border in, so I KNOW it's in the right place, before I go add the other 2 dragonfly outlines. Here is where it was as of Sunday night (I got the right side inner border beaded last night):

As of 6/8/14

And a bead detail:

I am keeping this out for the time being - this is on my To Finish list for this year, so hopefully I'll meet my goal; so many things are hollering at me, it's kind of hard to concentrate :)

And just a question for everyone: as you are going along, do any of you constantly wonder if you are going to have enough beads? I keep putting more out on my Tacky BOB, and I keep going through them, and I'm not even half done, and until I get the very last one on, I keep worrying over having enough! LOL 

Knotgarden

I've been working on Knotgarden this week.

Another milestone...

I have finished all the stitching on my White Nights in St. Petersburg!!!     I stitched it on 28 count 'Summer Sky' jobelan with Martina's suggested threads....    I am thrilled to be this far.....
next come the beads!!

 

will upload another picture when the beads are done.....

 

Happy Stitching,   Claire

 



Finished: Japanese Moss Garden

The Japanese Moss Garden mandala is finished!!
I did substitute the bugle beads around the sandy center for little delica's because I was not content about the way the bugles did fit in their space.
Stitched on antique white linen with all the recommended threads.

Hortus Viridarium - Part 2

Here is my update for May on Hortus, only a small part so not much to see!  I'm only stitching one part a month as I know what I am like with Chatelaines, I have no discipline and it will be finished in the blink of an eye and these designs really need to be savoured IMHO!

Love seeing everyone's updates - keep them coming!

Moyland Castle Update

I finally made some progress on Moyland Castle last month. I finished the top right triangle, and I started putting in some of the border around the triangles.

Top right:

I am quite pleased with how this one is turning out. Hopefully this month I will get the rest of the border finished on the top. It has a lot of 3/4 stitches, so it will probably slow me down some.

Secret Victorian Garden

I have finished part 11 on two corners and started part 12 on one side of Secret Victorian Garden.

I was feeling so good about how far I was on this one and actually thinking I might have a finish soon but then, I unrolled it from the frame and saw this:

That top section is so EMPTY!!!
