Sweet Moon Progress

I finished my 10-hr rotation on my companion piece to sweet moon.  The colors are the same and I wanted the companion to match the theme.  Since they are sisters, I wanted their pieces to show their relationship, but also how different they are from each other.





Next up in my rotation is...drumroll please...Fish City!!!!



I am also posting a picture of the pattern I'm working on for my October theme.  I'll post my progress in November, but at least you'll see my new start. I'm really excited at how fast it is stitching up.

Christmas Tree Sampler Progress

I finished my 10 hour rotation on my Christmas Tree Sampler.  I finished the detail on my tree and stitched a few more bands on the sampler.  I'm not happy with the ribbon embroidery roses, though.  I might see if Momma can fix them.

I've also joined the Theme-a-licious Challenge sponsored by another blogger.  September was easy--the theme was Supersize September.  I was supposed to make a large project my focus piece.  So I just kept working on my Passione Ricamo SAL.

Octobers theme is Overlooked October.  I am supposed to start a new project from a designer I am unfamiliar with.  So I chose to begin Noah and Friends by Jenny Barton.  It's a really cute little Noah's Ark project.  I don't have enough stitched for you to see what it looks like, so I'll post a project picture later.
