Fancy Wrap Progress

As you may know from a previous post, Fancy Wrap was my rotation project for last week. Here is how far I got. I did not stitch on it every night, I did some other stitching too since this is supposed to be fun!

I noticed I am having a bit of trouble getting reds to photograph well. You will see on my post planned for tomorrow that the red became pink. ??? 

The rotation project for this week is the cross stitch/embroidery category so I will continue on with the WIP I restarted on Feb 5 - Victorian Journal by Catherine Jordon.

Anyway this is all for today, tomorrow I will show you a fun project I worked on this weekend during the day when I was not working on Fancy Wrap (this was my evening TV room project - as is most of my stitching).

Rotation Sunday

Sunday is the day I change rotation projects. Last Sunday I started a needlepoint project which happened to be my oldest UFO/WP and I stitched on it a few nights this past week and this is as far as I have gotten. So it remains my oldest WIP.

My rotation project for this next week is an embroidery project and the one I chose is called Victorian Journal by Catherine Jordan. It is from the class I took last August at the Rocky Mountain Region EGA Seminar. I believe it is my youngest WIP. I do not think I have added much to it since class and this is how it looks now.

For this project we started out my tracing a design on the fabric then painting it. Next we stitch designs to make the colored areas to look like fabric and stitch embroidery on the borders to end up with a piece of fabric that looks like a crazy quilt. When completed it will fit around a small journal - hence the class title. I can't wait to get working on it again!!!

Happy Stitching!!
