I have been stitching although it seems like even though I have avoided my "group obligations" I still don't have enough time to stitch. (I think I might need a maid!) I am making progress on a few things and since it is WIP Wednesday I guess I will show you ALL the things I have been working on.
First up is Serenity Harbor. I enjoy working on this so much!!! But it is solid stitching now, which does not go very quickly, and I am still WAY behind on it no matter how much time I spend on it. It is my baseball piece so I work on it nearly every night but that still isn't enough to get it caught up! Oh well, it is for me so I guess it doesn't really have to finish on time. But I was hoping to at least stay close!! (The color on this is a little off. Took the pic on the kitchen island and I'm not sure what happened, those lights are usually so good.)
Part 6 ends at the bottom of the tree trunk |
This is where it is now...
This part is what I have added since my last post. I just love this one and I think I will have to keep it for myself!
I have been trying to work on something else during my weekly stitch group meetings, just to keep things interesting. Also, I am kind of a messy stitcher and trying to transport one of the above projects to someone else's house can sometimes be tricky!! Threads get lost, etc. So last week, the Rosewood Manor piece got a little work done on it. Not a lot got accomplished but it is group stitching and you know how that can be!!
This weeks group stitch project was the long suffering Dorothy Walpole. She is so neglected and I do have her on the list to finish this year. Once again, didn't get a lot done and I really need to make some progress if she is to make her completion date!!
Well, that's about all for now. I need to get back to it if I am ever going to finish another piece. Seems like the finishes have been few and far between this year and that is really starting to bug me!! The list continues to grow though, I have just signed up for another Facebook SAL for the Fall. Maybe that explains it!
Take care and enjoy your stitching, Laura
Oh Laura, your projects are all so well chosen - don't think I could put even one of them aside. Kudos especially for Serenity Harbor!
ReplyDeleteAll of your WIPS are lovely!
ReplyDeleteWonderful progress on your WIPS.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Manuela
Beautiful stitching on all your wonderful WIPs!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are plugging away at Serenity Harbor. Such a beauty.
ReplyDeleteLaura, your WIPS that you shared this week are looking good. Every little bit of stitching gets you closer to a finish! I am envious of your weekly stitch group; I would love to have one nearby.

*gasp* The Inn at Fox River!!! That's in my to-do pile! Yours is coming along beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI knew you were going to like that one, Ms. Copper Fox! That little fox is just too cute for words. Laura
DeleteLaura, your WIPs look wonderful! I'm also working on Dorothy W. but having trouble with the bargello because of my 40 ct fabric with thick and thin threads. Any helpful hints on getting through this section? I love seeing your progress!
ReplyDeleteCindy, I know what you mean about the linen but that is just its nature and something we all must live with. If you look closely at my bargello section, it is the same way, even on the 40 ct. Just keep plugging along and it will be done in no time!! Laura
DeleteAll of your projects look wonderful--and you must chastise yourself... you ARE making progress on each and every one of them... Unlike me, who has not picked up a needle in a week because I have family visiting!! You are doing fine!! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAll these WIPs are so lovely. And you made some really nice progress on them.
ReplyDeleteWow! These are all gorgeous WIPs, Laura, they are certainly keeping you busy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching. I especially like your Serenity Harbor. Every stitch counts! :)

Your projects looks so great, Laura! You are making such great progress! I have to do the Windows 10 upgrade.. still not sure about it lol. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHello Laura. Ran across your blog this morning while reading another blog, and I'm now your newest follower. Love all your stitching and I too am working,,,,,,and way behind on "Serenity Harbor". I love working on it, but like yourself, I never thought I would be this far behind.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the stitching and your lovely blog.
I am also working on the Serenity Harbor, but keep leaving it to work on other projects. I just found your blog & love your projects!
DeleteHi Laura, I want to say thank you for coming into my blog and literally making me smile. Whata nice post you made to me! I have watched your progress on your Serenity Harbor and you are such an inspiration to me. I am working on block 6 and seeing how should look when I get a little further on mine. Isn't this such a lovely stitch? I also love your Dorothy Walpole sampler and have that one in my stash too. Fox River is beautiful as is Old Glory. You have wonderful taste in projects and your stitching is really beautiful on all of your work!
