I like to have more than one project on the go at the same time. I don’t have a schedule for stitching, I just work on whatever strikes my fancy, although I try to keep up with the stitch-alongs. These are the works-in-progress currently hanging out in my workbasket.
You can see two new bands added to the Dentelles / Lacework sampler. The fifth band has a space where we could add our initials or a date if we wished. Don’t forget to pop over to Broduese Bressane’s Blogspot to check out the rest of the group’s progress in the stitch-along.
I have NOT kept up with the Save the Stitches Stitch-along, but I will finish it eventually 🙂 It’s a gorgeous design of blackwork fill patterns. You can see a photo gallery on Liz Almond’s webpage, Blackwork Journey. She has a new blackwork stitch-along starting next month, that I’m looking forward to starting – Box of Delights.
Soon to be added to my workbasket is my new design which features a dog or two 🙂 It’s still in the graphing stage, but I hope to start stitching soon.
I’m definitely happiest when my workbasket is full of WIPS – what about you? Do you like to stitch one pattern at a time, or do you have several going at once?
I love looking at all your projects. I generally have a couple of projects going at one time, usually one very large one and probably one smaller one. Then another one works it’s way in because of a special occasion coming up for which I am going to make a gift. So the gift usually takes precedence because it has a deadline.
Yes, gifts always take precedence for me too – Christmas time is always busy and sometimes it’s hard to meet deadlines. I’m trying to start my Christmas stitching earlier in the year nowadays 🙂
I love the colors (and the way too adorable corgi)!
Whiskey is my little Corgi-shadow 🙂
yes I also like to have several projects on the go – some big, some small ^^
Variety is nice 🙂
I have several projects going at once – I could never just work on one at a time. I have what I jokingly call “stichers ADD” because I get bored with part of one and go on to another. It keeps me going though.
Storm I would like to post your work in progress on the Save the Stitches Pinterest board. No-one else has used the type of colour scheme you have used adm I love it.
Liz
Thank you! I am so glad you like it! I would love to have you post my work in progress, and I will send you a better picture 🙂
Hi Storm, have just found your blog and love it 🙂 . Please can i ask what thread/colour are you using for the Save the Stitches, its beautiful. Bee x
Hi Bee, Welcome! And thank you for visiting 🙂 The floss for Save the Stitches is called Bradley’s Balloons, by Threadworx. It’s one of my favorite threads!
i love your save the stitches version… i have been wanting to do this pattern but wasn’t to keen on the black with the gold and silver. did you still use the metallic threads and beads?
My apologies, I’ve only just now seen this comment! I did use metallic threads for save the stitches, but did not use any beads. I’ve seen this design stitched in so many gorgeous colour combinations!
