I have waited to do this progress post until I had finished the panel on Baroque Garden. I finished the over one stitching last night and finished the frame and backstitching tonight. Still behind by 2 months, but the next two pieces are smaller and over 2. Here is my pomegranate panel and the botanical plate that inspired it.
I also made a new start on a Drawn Thread design - Cloister Garden. This chart was hiding in my stash, having been purchased probably 7-8 years ago. I was inspired to start it as an SAL with the Stitch Specialists sister yahoo group for The Drawn Thread designs. I was almost convinced the parcel containing my fabric was well and truly lost, but it arrived a couple of days before I was going to contact the place I ordered it from. It did take almost 4 weeks to get to Australia from the USA (usually only about 2 weeks). The fabric is 32 count belfast linen in the colour Baby Lotion. The threads came with the chart. I am already loving all the specialty stitches in this design.
The colour of the fabric does not show up well in the photo.
I love seeing all the progress on everyone's blogs, even if I don't always get to comment on every post.
Happy stitching

Lovely stitching.
Your Baroque is looking great!! Maybe I will start next year, if I ever decide on a color. It looks like it will take a lot longer time to stitch than I thought since a lot is over 1. The parts aren't finished up in a week, huh, lol.
The panel is looking good and your Jim Wurth Ornament is beautiful.
Everything looks lovely Wendy. I like that panel on Baroque, and your rosemary is pretty too. Love the colors in that!
Your pomegranate stitching is looking great, Wendy--so realistic. I have that Drawn Thread design, too, but haven't stitched it yet, so I look forward to watching your progress :)
I love both of your pieces. Pomegranate is stunning. Love everything of your Baroque Garden. And your topiary is looking great too. Very delicate as well.
The pomegranates look so yummy, Wendy! :D
I'm so happy to hear your package finally got ot you, and I love what you've down with Cloister Garden so far. So pretty and delicate. :D
The Baroque Garden is so pretty Wendy! I love pomegranates! Your little Cloister Garden is also sweet. I love herb patterns and this one from Drawn Thread is especially good!
