I chose Reflections of Canada by Ink Circles for the country colours and when I last picked it up in January it was here:
and I'm pretty happy with getting about 25% complete:
stitched 2 over 2 with Jodyri Ruby Slippers on 25 count ivory Lugana
And for the distance event I decided to get back into my Letters from Nora and went from here in January:
to here:
stitched 2 over 2 with charted threads (Crescent Colours) on 28 count Lugana from Chromatic Alchemy
The fabric colour is more realistic in this photo and I'm not 100% pleased with my progress as I feel like I could have done better. I just wasn't into stitching on this one for some reason. Maybe it was too many colours after the monochrome, but it wasn't grabbing my attention at all.
In the end, during the closing ceremonies I picked up a small to work on with big stretches of one colour, Linus from the Peanuts set:
to here:
I think I will likely pick this one up again and finish it off. Then I'll have the characters complete to send back. I'm stunt stitching these for someone who can't easily stitch anymore. Fortunately she's extremely patient, but I have some guilt about taking so long.
Thus ends IHSW for August and check out everyone's posts over at the lovely Joyce's blog, Random Ramblings.
Happy Stitching!

Thanks Linda!
DeleteFantastic progress on all your pieces!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching! I wouldn't be so tough on yourself. Stitching should be enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteYou did really well and the pieces are looking great.
ReplyDeleteYou made a good progress on your Olypmic projects!
ReplyDeletebellissimi i tuoi progressi!!
ReplyDeleteWe can easily say the OG have been productive for your little stitching bug :)
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! I am missing the Olympics already. Perfect for stitching.
ReplyDeleteI really like your Canadian Ink Circles stitch. It looks like fun too.
What's really funny about you being not-so-thrilled with your progress on the S letter is that I kept making only tiny bits of progress on it and it took me a couple of years to finish - I, likewise, could just not get into it. I wonder why?
ReplyDeleteBut it's great progress! Even if it's not as much as you want, it's still something :) Reflections of Canada is looking great, too!
Love the Nora letters....
ReplyDeleteYou did great with the Olympic challenge.
ReplyDeleteThank you!

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love your thread choice! I am very tempted to get that for Death By Cross Stitch. And linus looks like he will be so sweet, I still havent seen that movie yet of course I love Meghan Trainors 'Better when I'm dancing'.
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching x
Thank you! It is nice to stitch with. :) Meghan Trainor is a blast to listen to.
DeleteI thought you finished all the Peanuts stitching! Hmm, maybe the heat has addled my brain.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just aren't into certain things! That's when you have a million other certain things to do, right? :D
Looks like you made some great progress over IHSW. Your stitches look beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of projects for the Olympic stitches. And you made some awesome progress on them.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress :o)
