Patchwork progress

Here's my progress so far on the floral quilt I'm making. I really enjoy picking out the next hexagon flower to add to it.

Peacock Lady WIP 2

She's starting to look good, isn't she? It's been a bit slow going lately, mainly because of the peacock's tail, but I'm still having a lot of fun with her.

Patchwork in progress

Here's my strawberry cushion so far! I'm doing another round in red (I've started it at the top) and I'm thinking about putting strawberry patches in the corners of the hexagon.

 

I got these lovely fabrics at a charity shop today, and I think I'm going to use them with the other flowery fabric I got previously!

Peacock Lady WIP

I mentioned in my last post that I would show a progress photo of Joan Elliott's Peacock Lady, and here it is!

I am stitching her on a pale blue Zweigart 16ct aida using the recommended DMC colours. 

She's stitching up amazingly quickly, but as you can see I'm still missing quite a few colours. I'm being good and only buying them bit-by-bit, rather than all at once, so it will take a little longer to finish her. I'm also looking forward to getting some seed beads to use on her as I've never used them before. 

This is what she should look like once she's done. 

I am thinking about leaving the border out, as that is almost entirely stitched in DMC metallics and I don't fancy doing that. 

I have noticed that in the pattern half of the table's leg base is missing (for the table to be able to stand you should see it to the right of her shoe as well!), so I'll have to do something about that. 

Sunday WIPs

I hope you've all had a lovely holiday. Mine is almost over, I'll be heading back to the Netherlands on Tuesday.

Here's the progress on Guile since you've last seen him.

I'm sorry about the rubbish photos. I brought along my compact camera instead of my DSLR and it's so much harder to get a non-blurry photo with the compact camera.

Sunday WIPs

Sorry for no posts the last week. I'm back in Birmingham for Christmas!

Here's a couple of WIPs I'm working on while I'm here. Can you guess what they are?
 

This one's quite hard to see yet. It's going to be Guile from the Street Fighter series.

Some may be able to see what this is. It's the Blue Falcom from F-Zero. I've completed it as much as I can, I've not got the rest of the colours yet.

And meet Benny, he's the adorable little bear my mum got me from Build-a-Bear Workshop. Isn't he sweet?

Sunday WIP

Similar to last Sunday's, here's the second version of the Rupture Farms logo. I'm liking this one a lot more. It's almost done, it just needs a red border round the black.

And a little more progress on the pattern I made.

I hope you're having a nice weekend!

November WIPocalypse

I did do a little work over the last month or so on Klimt's Tree of Life, and the Mystic Dragon.

I hope you had a good month, and have been able to work more on your WIPs than I have!

Sunday WIPs

I don't have any crafty stuff finished to share with you today, so I thought I'd show you my two little WIPs I've got going at the moment.

The first is the Rupture Farms logo from the Oddworld series of games. It's very small, I'm stitching it over one on 28ct evenweave, I am just doing a tent stitch though so it's coming together quite quickly.

The second is a larger version of one of the patterns I posted a little while ago. I am using Nina's Threads on some linen I've had for a while.

I don't know if I'll be able to get much stitching done over the next few days, as I've got quite a lot of pain down neck, and right shoulder and elbow, which is a pity, because I'm really enjoying working on these two patterns.
