Hi...have not posted for a while but have been stitching on and off ... my dad has been in & out of the hospital twice - Feb & March. His condition is stable now and hoping that he'll quickly recover.

I have 2 finishes - Green Butterfly & a mini one - Pretty Roses Kit.




I have tried stitching with 5 projects on rotation since 1st week of March and have been enjoying doing 5 different projects on a weekly basis. This includes 4 new projects and a UFO one - Nature Gives. Here are my progress updates on each one:

Projects on Rotation:


UFO - Nature Gives


Red Poppies


Orange Butterfly on Pink Flowers


Dazzling Lighthouse II (The Red Lighthouse)


Spring Floral Sampler


Thank you for looking. Happy Easter! Happy stitching to all.

I'm so sorry to hear your father hasn't been well. I'm glad that he has stabilized. The pieces you're working on in your rotation are all beautiful. I adore your taste in designs. I'm looking forward to see more updates on these designs.

Beautiful finishes !! So sorry that your dad hasn't been well and I hope that he is well on the way to recovery!! Wow, what beautiful projects you are working on and I look forward to updates on all of them--especially the two sampler style ones!!!

[Mikaa]

Sorry to hear about your dad. Sending best wishes your way.

Great work on so many projects! I especially like the look of the lighthouse one. Makes me want to try something with half stitches... I love that painted look.

Can't wait to see more!

I am sorry to read your father has had more spells in hospital and hope that this time he is home for good. In spite of the ups and downs you have finished 2 lovely projects and started a 5 ways rotations all of which are really wonderful. Well done Charmagne.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad's health issues; sending lots of prayers and good wishes that he will be feeling better soon.

Al of your WIP's are wonderful, and I love the little roses finish. As for the butterfly - WOW! It's absolutely gorgeous!!!

[charmagne_capalad]

Thank you for all your thoughts and concerns on my Dad's health issues.... I really admire him for being strong throughout his health episodes... still the same his heart pump rate is still at 38% due to clogged arteries... bypass & angioplasty operation not an option due to his age and condition so he's only into medications.

I have been carrying along my stitchy things while he is in the hospital and was able to have lots of stitching time as he was always at rest/asleep.
That is why I have had progress on my projects.

Again, heartfelt thanks to everyone.

Wow, your choice of subjects are so appealing to me! I really like all of your finishes and starts, especially the poopies and the spring sampler
Also sending lots of well wishes to your dad, hopefully he'll recover quickly

[lavenderbee]

Sorry I have not commented on your projects before Charmagne, somehow I missed your posts. I had not forgotten you & had been wondering how you were doing. Now I know. Very sorry to hear about your father being ill again & hope he will soon be back to normal.

Your projects are so pretty & like others love butterflies. I was wondering which project you would do next & whether there would be butterflies in it. Well there are several there & all so colourful & neatly stitched. Look forward to seeing more of your work as it is always exquisite.

Hello everyone ...I have updates to show on my projects on rotation... and really thankful for all the prayers and concerns for my dad as he is doing well now after his hospitalization last March. I know that both of them, my Dad & Mom are not getting any younger, but am glad that they are enjoying their old age despite some health problems.

For the month of April - I have a finish! - Red Poppies - I have changed the borders and added the saying. I think it turned out well (i hope you'll agree...? )


..and this one will take the place of Red Poppies on my projects on rotation - DMC Summer Bloom 1:


...and here's my update progress on the other ones:

Orange Butterfly


Dazzling Lighthouse 2


Spring Floral Sampler


UFO - Nature Gives


I am really enjoying doing mulitple projects on rotation. I should have started this long ago. Thank you for looking. Advance Happy Mother's Day! Happy stitching to all!

[wendywombat]

I do like the words on the Poppies.

The bicycle with the flower basket is going to be lovely on that fabric. A perfect choice.

I'm glad that your Dad is doing well now and that your parents are enjoying their old age.

Wonderful updates of all your rotations, too.

[lavenderbee]

What wonderful updates Charmagne. The words on the poppies are well chosen. Look forward to seeing ore of your beautiful work. Your projects are always so neatly stitched & full of vibrant colours. Glad your father is progressing well.

[rcperryls]

I agree with both Wendy and lavenderbee!! Your updates are beautiful and you are getting very close to another finish with Nature Gives. Once I started doing more than one project at a time, my love of stitching really accelerated and I find that if my stitchy bug leaves at all, it is for such short periods of time that I hardly realize he's gone off before he gets back.

Loving all of your updates and finishes!!! Soooo pretty---the last two are simply breathtaking!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[Squirrel]

WOW those poppies are fabulous and well done for finishing it and its replacement is such a lovely design. Fabulous updates on all your rotation pieces too, you certainly are going well with them all.

[stitchhappy18]

Glad your dad is doing better. What beautiful projects. I admire your starting a stitching rotation. I keep thinking I want to do the same, but then I worry I will just have more UFOs.

[charmagne_capalad]

Happy to show my progress updates on my projects on rotation. I am totally loving this rotation process...It keeps me from being bored working on just one project. I can do more progress updates as it keeps me motivated. It really works for me. So, here are my updates:

Summer Blossom


Orange Butterfly


Dazzling Lighthouse


Spring Floral Sampler


Forest Butterflies


Nature Gives


Happy stitching to all!

[stitchhappy18]

Wonderful update. It looks like you have made good progress on each project. I am still loving the butterfly.
