It looks like we already hit the middle of May, so here is my tiny update for the GG SAL. I only worked on one project, but I am fairly happy with my progress. Since Middle Earth is taking a small break, I will rotate through my other projects.
As every month, there is a
link-up page where you can see every ones progress.
For this month I picked "In the Moonlight" by Cindy Grundsten (Tilton Crafts).
I went from here:
To here:
And that's a total of 2 400 stitches and also, this is the first page! The grey stitches up quite fast, I did this in one week and I am super happy with what I did. Also, this is now officially well past the point where I had to restart this (due to wrong fabric orientation... due to stupidity...) and since I am making some "new" progress on this, I feel better working on it. I already made something like a plan how to stitch another page on this during the year.
As you can't really see anything in this picture and the chart seems to be retired, here is a picture of the original artwork:
First I thought that there might me the tip of an ear on the next page (looks like something pointy in the lower right corner), but looking at the picture, I fear the first row will be only grey background.
As for my further stitching plans... I have 3 bigger projects I stitch on my frame: Middle Earth, Wolf Kiss and In the Moonlight. I will either work on Middle Earth bimonthly and rotate between the two wolf projects in the other months, or I will rotate through them in a 3-month cycle. As for my Christmas stocking, I will try to work on it for a few days every month. This way I hope to make some progress on all my projects =)
And since I made such a great plan wo cope with all my projects, I have another chart to show, which I bought because my hubby is a huge Star Wars fan and I think he would love it:
This is "Star Wars - Past and Present" by Daniel Kordeck. The chart is available from Tilton Crafts. Shelly (the owner) is a bit in need, even thinking about closing her business, so I thought I might support her by buying a few new charts ;-) I bought two more, but I will show them in a separate post next week =)
Happy stitching =)
