On a Roll!

With this irritating cold, I've been such a bum, just binge-watching Netflix and stitching.

I finished another RoundRobin piece, which means once I stop by the PO tonight, I'll finally be down to one in my possession!  YAY!  And I know what I want to stitch on the last one, I just need to chart it out.  I'm going to give myself a week or two before I get back to that one (unless the next one gets mailed to me, in which case I'll have to hurry again ;) )

I did a band from Esther's Waves by Northern Expressions.  I picked a band I liked, and I chose colors from fibres in my collection.

I used a Needle Necessities I originally acquired for a custom piece I did (of my uncle's artwork), Sassy Brass (by Crescent Colours), and Bark (WDW).

I love how it came out - it looks SO MUCH like Tiger's Eye, which is my favorite semi-precious gemstone.  I kind of hated to give the Round Robin back, because I loved it that much.

Here's my band (colors are a bit off, it was late when I took the picture):


Here's the whole piece:


And here's Mona, "helping" me.


I also stitched on Thanksgiving Fairy while hanging out with some friends while watching the SuperBowl (poor Panthers, oh well).

    1. When she starts worming her way into my lap, she's a total distractions! When she's asleep, she's a nice warm armrest, though ;)

  2. Oh, that is a great band! Quite unusual with that asymmetric, wavelike structure, and the colours are great! Also, woo for catching up with your RR, and great progress on that fairy as well!

    1. Thanks! Getting caught up on the RR is *such* a relief, too!
      When I saw the sampler, I knew that I wanted to stitch one of the bands for a sampler, so I'm glad it all worked out :)

  3. Love how Thanksgiving Fairy is turning out! Mona looks like a great helpe. Our Leland is about the same, usually curled up and snoring from the next recliner over. Such a hard doggie life:)

    1. It is a terrible rough life for her ;) At least she's more respectful of my stitching than she is when I'm playing video games ;)
