I worked on Part 2 of my Castles piece last night. I managed to finish all the urns, as well as the specialty stitches within them. I have to finish the outer specialty stitches yet on five more sides. I am really glad that Part 4 is a bit delayed this month (since I haven't even started Part 3!)
I think that this is such a nice name for a design...cannot wait to see if there really are going to be "castles." Here's a picture of my WIP for Part 2....
Thanks for stopping by! I really enjoy reading what everyone has to say. :)
Part 1 is finished! This is really so much nicer in person. I decided to use a gold bead and a green bead. Now, if you notice - the gold one is very small (the regular size Mill Hill Magnifica) - but the larger one is the 6mm. So far, I'm happy with the larger size. I thought it added a bit more depth to the vine. We'll see if I change my decision when the new parts are released.
you don't have to twist my arm too much, do you? Here's my Castles in the Sky WIP. The fabric is 28 count Baby Lotion Pink with a few touches of rose and turquoise just around the center.
There is more turquoise to the left which I did not manage to get into the picture. Just little blotches, but when the stitching is on top of them, I like the way it looks. :)
