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

Next Eleven

Hi

Best wishes to everyone

I have completed another 11 squares of colorwaves - or another row as I have chosen to stitch this using diagonal rows.

I love seeing what the new pattern is for each block.

This design is fun to stitch.

Happy stitching - I will be starting the next row

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.

Happy stitching
