The Girl that Stitches

The Queens of Spades Sends Her Regards I felt pulled to work on this one for Valentines Day, even though I'm still nowhere near the Queen of Hearts!  This is the regular HAED chart. Artwork by Stephanie-Pui-Mun Law:  Reminder of where it was at last time I worked on it!:     I now have a column finish and it's at 17.87% complete:   This is where it is at now!: Happy Valentines Day! xxx

Iris Keeper of the Rainbow I was hoping to get this current page of Iris completed as the last page finish of 2024. Instead it became my first page finish of 2025! Artwork Reminder: Previous Progress:  Current Progress; Happy New Year!  May this coming year be full of happiness, love and laughter and lots of stitching! Happy Stitching! xxx

Nocturne Row Finish Reminder of the artwork by Marta Dahlig:   Previous progress:  Current progress: Happy Stitching! xxx  

Rainbow Girl It's been awhile since this one has come out!  I decided it would be great to get a column finish in this year. I stitched the partial page at the bottom and there was badger hanging out there. Reminder of the artwork by Josephine Wall: Previous progress, yes it was 2018!  Oh how the time disappears!:   Current progress: This one is being stitched on 25 count Zweigart Lugana 1 over 1 full cross.   I enjoyed that there were quite a few purples and pinks mixed into this page with all that brown and black! Happy Stitching! xxx

Moving Along on Iris It's been some time since my last update since life got really busy and I had to move house in a very short amount of time.  I put my stitching down to pack up and look for houses and that's why I've been missing for awhile.  Now, with my stitching and myself re-located I have finally have another page finish to show on Iris.  Previous Progress: Current Progress: I've hit just over 25% complete now! I missed a small section of black on the edge of this page as I needed another skein but will come back to that when working on the next page.  Her face will be on the next page which is exciting! Puzzle Fun Lastly I stumbled across a digital puzzle of Iris Keeper of the Rainbow which I thought was super fun.  Here is the link if you're into puzzles :) https://www.jigidi.com/solve/thwl20h7/iris-keeper-of-the-rainbow/ Happy Stitching xxx The Girl that Stitches

Mandala Animals I have finished Mandala Chameleon by Awesome Pattern Studio!  Here is what the pattern looks like:   Here is the pattern link: Mandala Chameleon There are a whole series of really cute mandala animals on the designers website. Progress Pictures I stitched this pattern on 20 Count Bellana. The Chameleon is full cross and the background is tent stitch: I’ve changed some colours, added additional colours and a border. I also removed the center leaves and some background to have more show through of the green fabric as this suits the way it will be framed for gifting. There will be text I’m adding to the top/bottom as well. If you're not already following me over on Instagram.  Click on the picture below to see the reel I made!:   Happy Stitching! xxx
