Backtracking

Last month I was picking out stitches, but this month the edges of my vine actually met up perfectly!  I still have more branches to add to the inner circle, but I think I am now back on track.  Once again I am in a stitching slump, but I have been trying to add a few new stitches every weekend.  I also started a small Halloween design that I will have to share soon--a black cat from one of the most recent Prairie Schooler charts.  Now I wouldn't mind a little brisk weather to go along with the Halloween design!

Your Mystery Sampler is coming along great! A few stitches here and a few stitches there will add up soon enough!

Congratulations on getting the vine to match up! It's looking lovely so far.

Good to hear that the vine matched up. This is looking lovely!

I'm edging closer to starting this design, too! I purchased the final chart, arranged a loan for the others (No 31 is hard to find!) and now I just have to order my fibers and choose a linen--the most daunting task.
At least I know I want to do it all on one piece; but what count!? lol!

Yours is looking quite nice; glad to hear it is behaving this month.

Valerie--It really does add up. I need to get back into the habit of stitching for even 15 minutes before bedtime as that would really help!
KarenV--After having to rip out stitches I was very happy when the ends met up the second time around. It is really starting to take shape now!
Lois--I am really enjoying working on it--despite the errors I've made!
Beritbunny--Glad to hear you have been able to find the charts--from what I've heard from other stitchers, they are having problems getting them--I really lucked out since I was able to buy charts together with the linen. I hope I won't have too much trouble sewing the pieces together when I finally get them all stitched up!
Karoline--It is a nice feeling making it all work after I had so much trouble. It will look really nice when it's all done!

Looking good.

Your mystery sampler is looking great. It's amazing that just a few stitches each night gets a piece stitched up pretty quickly.

I am yet to start part 3. I think I will wait for you to catch up. I am in a bit of a stitching slump at the moment.

It's looking great so far. I've done those round motifs and know how you worry the two ends won't match up! Sometimes switching projects and doing something small and quicker helps you break out of a slump.
