April's Daisy - A Finish

I started working on "April's Daisy" in late April before I left on my trip to the U.K.  I packed it up and took it with me, but honestly never worked on it while I was away.  I finally picked it up again and finished it off with three additional stitching sessions.

Design - "April's Daisy"

Designer - Cottage Garden Samplings

Fabric - 32 count Waterlily linen

Fibers - GAST, WDW & DMC - 2 strands over 2 threads

Started - 24 April 2013

Completed - 20 October 2013

I have the charts and fabric for May, June, July, August, and September.

The question is - which one will I stitch up next?

January's Snowdrops

Thank you for allowing me to join Parsley:) I'm Sally and I live in England. I fell in love with January's Snowdrops as soon I saw it and decided I wanted to collect the whole series. Up to now I have the first 6 and can't wait for my ONS to get the rest ( they're a bit slow but they get there in the end!).

So here's my finish of January's Snowdrops. It is stitched on 40 count Pearl  Grey Newcastle linen.

I'll be starting February's Primrose on Sunday.

April's Daisy - Further Progress

It's Monday once again...how did that happen so quickly?

I do think that my idea of marking Sunday as "Series Sunday" is working out well.  Now that I have dedicated a day of the week, I'm working on "April's Daisy" on a regular basis and making good progress.  This week I finished all the lettering and all of the small motifs - the umbrella, the basket, the final chick.  I even was able to add a couple of leaves and begin to stitch one of the daises.  I think I can get this one finished before the end of the month.

April's Daisy - Progress Report

My "Series Sunday" idea seems to be what it takes to motivate me to work on my current Cottage Garden Samplings project.  I've finished the border of "April's Daisy", and have made good progress on the sentiment.

"April's Daisy - Finally Some Progress Once Again

I got out of the habit of working on Cottage Garden Sampling's floral series while I was travelling this summer.  I decided that Sundays would become "Series Sundays" and if on no other day of the week, I'd at least devote some time on Sundays to working on this series.  I stitching the vine on the bottom and the right side of "April's Daisy".  So I'm back on track again. 

Finally, March is completed!

It only took me all summer, but I finally finished March... with a little help from my friends!

Of course I had to change some of the colours, I didn't like the brown and green lettering so I chose the purple and blue, more spring like.  I also had to include the Welsh Dragon since St. David's Day is March 1st.

August Poppy Progress

Here is my start on August Poppy. I love it! Stitching on 32 ct Confederate Gray by Silkweavers. It's more blue than gray...perfect for a beach scene.

Are any of you stitching your patterns? Don't forget to share your progress here. I seem to recall a potential giveaway for joining this SAL and posting progress... ;-)
