Mystery X WIP (again)

Here's another update on my Mystery X. I have backstitched two of the gates. Yeahh!!! Geesh....only six more to go! I also added the scrolls at the top portion for two sides. It really doesn't show too well in the picture. It's much better in person. The original PB 04 (silver) just was not showing up very well at all on the fabric I chose. So I went searching through my ...many....Chatelaines to find one that was more suitable. This one is PB 54. It's still silver, just a bit darker. I don't think that it is supposed to show as a very dark portion. It will probably attach to another part in either Part 11 or 12. Here's a slideshow of all my WIP pictures....


Mystery 10

Little bits of progress...

(very little)LOL! But here's what bits I did on Mystery X, Part 10. This is the first corner so far
and this....The half stitches go very quickly. Still have the rest of the gate and another gate for the top portion to do yet.

Shepherds Bush and Little House Needleworks

Two of my favorite designers!! Here's my Shepherds Bush Autumn Blessings finished as a hanging.

...and Little House Needleworks freebie, Sweet Berries, also as a hanging..

On Autumn Blessings, I only completed a portion, not the entire band sampler.

Part 9 - Mystery X

Woohoo!! Part 9 is finally done! No more trees! Now to just try and finish Part 10 before the first of next month.;)

...and another update....

Mystery X, that is....This is the lower left hand corner for Part 9 complete. Only one more corner to go! Then I can finally move onto Part 10. Those willow trees are actually beginning to get a bit easier, well, only after doing six of them:))

TW Father Christmas Freebie

This is a freebie by Teresa Wentzler. I tried several photos, but can't seem to get the white to not be "so" white. There is some whitework in the borders also.

The fabric that is shown is what I used for the back.

A Couple of Finishes

This one has been stitched forever. I finally did the actual finishing on it yesterday. This is Little House Needleworks Berries freebie.

And Judy Odell's My Needlebook all done!

Now it will be back to working on my Mystery X for a bit today! I did manage to complete the upper right corner and a portion of the lower left corner....


OK - I can't seem to get the pictures to appear where they are supposed to be, but you get the idea....:)) Oh, and that is Ranger's head peeking in at the corner of the Little House picture..maybe he was afte those little birds!
