2014 Turtle Trot March update!!

Hello!!!
I hope you all are doing good . I had been very busy for the past few weeks so could not write any post . Thanks for your lovely and sweet wishes on my Birthday !! :) I had a great time with my family :D

It is 10th of March and time to update my Turtle Trot SAL progress . The SAL is into the third month now and I am glad even after being busy I managed to stitch on 9 out of 10 pieces :)

To know about this SAL , click here and to know about my planned projects , click here.


1. Ladybird fairy by Joan Elliott 

Now

2. Jungle Japes (height chart) by Durene Jones 

Now

Before
I purchased the iPad issue of Cross Stitch Gold magazine with this chart when there was Holiday discount on all issues . Later I saw that half of the chart is in next issue . But I guess this will take more than a year for me to stitch so I will wait for next discount offer to buy the next issue . So I will be stitching upwards from here because the bottom part of chart is in next issue .

3. Easter Chicks by Belle & Boo

Now

Before


4. Happy Days by Felicity Hall

Now
I ran out of thread shade for the word 'Happiness' so just wandered over to stitch some other parts.

  21. Great progress on all your projects. I think I would have stitched the Margaret Sherry cat on pink fabric to avoid all that background!
    Which one will be finished first I wonder?

  22. Lovely cross stitch. I started my first one recently but having great trouble in counting, locating the point in chart, then in the fabric and then again counting the number of stitches in chart.
    Intense from of embroidery.

  23. Preeti, your cross stitch projects are amazing! I especially like those with flowers - they have os many shades! Which fabric are you using? I suppose that the one I have is too big, and I have to use 4 strands of cotton to make cross stitch look decent, without fabric to be seen through. It is always amazing to see you don't leave your hobbies among all the daily deals. Great!

  26. Oh wow! Those are all big projects. I can't believe you are working on all of them at one time. I think the hydrangea is my favorite! Love those flowers but we don't have them here, though I've seen that some of the new florist shops have started getting them. Have a great rest of the week, Tammy

  28. Love seeing the progress that you make on your pieces. You must be stitching a lot if you have run out of a thread color on two of your projects. Good to hear you had a good birthday. Happy Stitching!
