Hello
I hope everyone is having a wonderful time getting ready for Christmas
I have been doing a small amount of stitching with my start on Twisted Rainbow Sampler. I have done the first 2 bands. The silks from Fiberlicious are lovely to work with, and I am loving the colours in the peacock fantasy collection
Happy stitching

Ten more squares
Hello
Where is the year going, we are getting so close to Christmas
I have been stitching since my last post.
Another diagonal row of colour waves is complete (10 more squares)!
I have also had a couple of new starts, one is a long term project for my husband - a Supersized HAED of a NASA image - Small Magellanic Cloud. It will be finished in my lifetime! I am stitching using tent stitch so it does grow quickly in the background areas.
I also ordered some silk threads from Fiberlicious and I could not resist starting Northern Expressions needlework Twisted Rainbow Sampler. I tried out the fabrics in my stash and choose Urewerea Mist 32 count lugana from Country Stitch. The silks are lovely.
Happy stitching

Colourful Silks and Colorwaves
Hello
Firstly, thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment about my last post, they are always much appreciated.
My order from the Silkmill arrived this week. It was beautifully packaged in tissue paper with a ribbon tie. This is the first time I have ordered from them and the silks are beautiful. The package included a small complimentary pot of Thread Heaven as an extra surprise.
These will be used for a cross stitch and blackwork project that I hope to start soon. I love the sheen of silk threads.
After taking some time out to stitch Oasis I have returned to my larger Needle Delight Originals project - Colorwaves. I love the designs that Kathy Rees creates. I have just passed the halfway mark. The colours are so vibrant.
I have chosen to stitch the outline grid with black rather than the original white.
I hope everyone is having a pleasant weekend.

Oasis is finished
Hi
I have finished the last part of Oasis this morning. It was a fun design to stitch, although the endless knot formation in the long lengths of the Watercolours used for the sprat's heads around the outside was driving me crazy.
I did undo one of the Sprat's heads and redo it to get a better balance of colours with the variegated watercolours. I also used up the entire card of Entice thread - just had enough.
It is nice to start and finish something in a short time period - must remember to continue to do some smaller projects in amongst the large ones.
Here is my finish

Oasis has grown
Hi
I have finished part 4 of Oasis!
I only have part 5 to go and the extra hints were only released this week.
This means I am up to date with a project, which does not often happen now.
I have lots of Sprat's Heads to do around the outside to finish the design.
Hope everyone else has had a great weekend of stitching.
