Chickadees and Lilacs - finished July 2017

Post by MikiStitch »

Hi All,

I have been working on the Dimensions Chickadees and Lilacs for a over 8 months and wanted to share with you my progress.

Image


Also, a new small Dimensions kit I picked up to finish quickly

A question: I've been looking through the forums for a while, especially the SAL, there was one post that contained a free design from a blog of a couple looking or kissing or dancing. I believe it was done in all blue but I have not been able to find the post again. Much appreciated if you can find either the post or a link to the design.

I too have often looked at the chick-a-dees and lilac kit. You are making a beautiful work of art, that is for sure and your stitching is so neat too.

I like the frogs, really cute and should be quick and easy to do and a change from the bigger project.

Working on the middle frog. I was able to carry this on a flight across country and work on it while in the plane :) Very amused to carry a needle and small foldable scissors onto a plane.

:applesauce: Frog is coming along nicely. I have heard that sometimes they will let stitching needles and embroidery scissors on and sometimes they won't. Someone could tell you are a true stitcher.
