Hi,
Thanks for your kind concern over my finger hurt . Its fine and back on its job now. I know it was a bit childish to say because crafters go through needle accidents some or the other time .
Let's see what I am up to on my SAL(s) status .
First, MMMM (Mega Mini Month Madness) SAL hosted by Pull the other thread for the month of October . I have completed one more yesterday . To know more about this SAL click here and to know more about my projects click here .
This looks small but it has 17 colors and since I am doing on canvas its taking long for me to stitch .
Turtle Trot is hosted by Claudette from BAP-attack blog . To know about this SAL click here and to know about my 10 projects click here . To see the progress of others, click here .
1. Ladybird fairy by Joan Elliott
2. Jungle Japes (height chart) by Durene Jones
I need a suggestion for this . The Koala's ears and cheeks as per Anchor shades in the chart have turned out dark pink . Maybe, because the Indian shade numbers differ a bit . Do you think I should use lighter shades ? I find it cute with dark shades also . I have not done back stitching .What do you say?
3. Easter Chicks by Belle & Boo
Completed :) More pictures, here .
4. Happy Days by Felicity Hall
I am not liking this because I ended up using too many colors . Moreover, only recently I came to know that the symbol for quarter stitches ---- 1/4th stitch and 3/4 stitch are same and based on the need of the design we have to use either of these . But I have stitched only 1/4 th everywhere and now I need to change to 3/4 th at many places to get smooth edges :((
5. Blue tit by Lesley Teare
No progress.
6. Glamour puss by Margaret Sherry
Completed :) More pictures, here .
7. Humming Bird Quartet by Frankie Buckley
Completed :) More pictures, here .
8. Hydrangea by Barbara Baatz Hillman
9. Floral Border from Variegated floral border by Leisure arts
10. Nature’s charm by Dimensions
No progress . I am thinking of scrapping this project because I am facing lots of color mismatches in this . I only have a chart for this and not the kit .
Thanks for looking !
Happy Weekend !
Preeti :)

Impressing... I still love the girl with the chickens.
ReplyDeleteOmg, Preeti!! Fantastic!! Awesome how much you've stitched, and such beauties. I don't see any mistakes in the happiness picture, it's gorgeous! ♥
ReplyDeleteWeekend greetings, Nata
A few no progress, but you did a awesome job on all teh others!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!1
You can do it!!
You are so far!!
Lots of beautiful stitching!! Congrats on the finishes.
ReplyDeleteWow you have made amazing progress on your pieces. I think the dark pinks on the Koala look really great but go with whatever you feel looks best. Some really great finishes in there.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the fantastic progress you made Preeti. Adorable finishes.
ReplyDeleteLinda
Ooooh so much progress! I love Happy Days even if it's being a stubborn stitch. The colors are beautiful and it really feels... happy!
ReplyDeleteI like the pink on the koala ears! I think once the backstitching is in, it may not seem as obvious.
Wow, you have made so much progress on your chosen pieces. I love the Belle and Boo designs, they are very sweet.
ReplyDeleteI think your koala looks fine with his ears that colour.
Glad your finger is feeling better, I can't believe how much stitching you have on the go it's all so lovely, congratulations on the finishes I love glamour puss:)
ReplyDeleteThey're all so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat absolutely gorgeous pieces you're working on!! And Glamour puss is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of work you have on the go and all of it so pretty. Little koala looks cute as he is, maybe when all the stitching is finished his ears won't appear quite so obvious.
ReplyDeleteAll the projects are lovely Preeti. the chart for the mmmm sal- should it be purchased or is it a freebie?
ReplyDeletePreeti it's great that u r managing to stitch so much that too in cross stitch. i am working on a cross stitch kit for about an year. On seeing all your projects i am inspired to finish it soon.
