Theme-a-licious Update - Febuary

Since my last update stitching time has been seriously short, a combination of half-term and a bad sore throat since the last update has left me to tired to stitch during the evenings.

I did manage to finish the center section of Alpine Garden then things ground to a halt

stitched using the recommended materials

A close up of the centre, I know I say this every time but it is so pretty

And on Fruits of the Vine I've finished the front of the scissor fob

stitched using the kit materials

and made good progress on the inside of the needle roll

And onto 'March Madness' I'm going to take a slightly different take on this. I've decided that my definition this year is to work over one on 35 count! So my weekend project is going to be Eileen Bennett's Juda Hale in Miniature. Otherwise I'm really hoping that I can finish Alpine Garden this month.

Alpine Garden is beautiful. I had the same problem, illness and no figures to stitch!

Love your definition of March Madness too, great idea. I love my over 1 stitching. 40 count is quite challenging!

Alpine garden is looking lovely as is your scissor fob. The needle case will look great and stitching over one on 35 count is really mad lol, good take on this months theme.

My eyes are aching at the thought of such miniature work. But I'm sure it will be glorious!

I think you've done pretty well given that you've been under the weather. Pretty stitching as always Karoline - I'm not so sure about the over one on 35 count though - this comes from someone who avoids over one on any count of fabric.

I hope your throat gets better soon - what a nuisance. Alpine Garden is really beautiful, especially that centre square, and your stitching is perfect.

So sorry to hear you've been not feeling your best, Karoline--hope the sore throat is gone by now...

Beautiful progress on Alpine Garden--and yes, that center is absolutely gorgeous :)

Karolyn, I do hope that you are feeling much better very soon. Lovely progress on Alpine Garden, and 'Fruit of the Vine' needleroll is really gorgeous. I too, am thinking of possibly attending a class, taught by Ellen Chester, to teach the same needleroll. It really is beautiful.

Blessings for you!
