Theme-a-licious Check In - March Madness

 

Here is my progress on my 'March Madness' goals - I said that my version was going to be working over one on 35 count by picking up 'Juda Hayle in Miniature' by Eileen Bennett.

 I've made steady progress on this one, I'm almost finished another row of the eyelet alphabet.  The eyelets are a real sod to stitch over one, if I'd realised just how much I would have substituted another stitch.  I average one letter a night with this, I'm hoping that  I can finish the final row of this alphabet this month.  I've left the needle in for scale.

 My other goal for March is too finish The Drawn Threads Alpine Garden. Progress is slow and steady, I've finished another band.

I really liked the leaf stitch used for the dividing band, it was a fun one to do and looks gorgeous

I love the Rapid Stitch on Cloister Garden, it ain't particularly rapid but does look good. Am full of admiration for EB's over one sampler but agree with you...a sod!

I can't imagine eyelet letters over 1 on 35 count. One letter a night is good progress!

The sampler is really quite small and very impressive Karoline. Drawn Thread designs use such lovely stitches, it makes them so interesting.

Juda Hayle is AMAZING. Gee whiz, I thought just stitching over one on 35-count was madness...you didn't tell us there'd be eyelets!!! *faints* In any case, it is looking beautiful...as is the DT, of course!

Heather, your stitching on Juda Hayle and Alpine Garden are absolutely gorgeous! My goodness, you must have incredible patience to stitch those little tiny eyelets over one thread for the alphabet letters!

I especially love the names of each flower and their meanings with each flower in the Alpine Garden.

Blessings!
