That wreath is gorgeous, and what a great effect with the ribbon!

WOW Sina I am so delighted you have finished this fabulous design and brought it to life with your fabulous stitching. It is a master piece for sure. The little Bee just adds that finishing touch to it all. :whoop: :whoop: :whoop: :whoop: :whoop:

Thank you :whoop:
Now heading on to the next finish, my "Flying Ducks" by Alisa are halfway complete now, I'd say.

I've not really been on here for quite some time. But I haven't stopped stitching altogether.
In fact, most of my pieces have seen some progress but today I want to show off two finishes.

The first one is a design by Kazuko Aoki which I have finished up into a little pillow.

And the second one is a lovely design by Cornelia Papesch. In fact, I've just finished this one like an hour ago, so it's not made into anything yet.

Oh I do like those!!
I especially like the finish on that pillow! :wub: :applesauce: A clever way to put make the decoration fit onto a larger cushion. :D :applesauce:
Love that little crocheted bee too!
I'll now sit and wait to see how you finish the second piece. 8)

How lovely they both are and I love the way you have made the cushion and finished it off with the lace - very well done. Your most recent finish is oh so colour and both finishes are beautifully stitched. :whoop: :whoop: :whoop: :whoop:

Thank you for the lovely comments they really mean a lot to me.
I now have only a few days of stitching left on my ducks so these will be finished soon, and I might need to start something then :ratherbe:

I love the beaded cushion and the way you have finished it off ( also :wub: the crocheted Bumblebee) it's gorgeous :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

I do love the Hive with the flowers too, such unique projects.

Beautiful stitching :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

Can't wait to see your ducks too :dance:

Thank you, Maureen! :wub:

And here they are, my "Flying Ducks"!
I finished them just yesterday, as I figured I really just wanted to have them all stitched up.
And I really like the end result. As you might know I swapped the Aida for some 28ct linen I still had, which makes it look so much better than if it was stitched on the Aida it came with (just my own opinion, I also love all of the projects done on Aida :wub: )

Thank you so much for looking :wub:

Now, what to start next?

Congratulations on a fabulous finish Sina :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

I really like this design, the half crosses really help to add depth to the whole piece, and the ducks are captured exactly right as they are just beginning to take off :wub:

Your backstitching is perfect too.

Very well done :whoop: :whoop:

Can't wait to see what you start next.

Superb Finish!
When a design has fractional stitches then Evenweave is really the the best option!

Don't those Ducks look fantastic! :wub: :wub:
:thinks: I wonder where they are going? :D

Thank you so much!
I hope you all won't get mad at me for posting so much lately.
It's just that I NEED to tell you what design I've decided on stitching next. It's the beautiful kit Birds And Seasons by Anchor which has already been stitched by our talented Maureen. Your posts made me buy this kit. :D

I did all the preparations, and as you can see, I've onye again swapped the aida for some lovely 32 ct linen.
I can't wait to show you my progress.

:whoop: :whoop: Yay! :whoop: :whoop:

That is beautifully kitted up Sina.

Thank you for your kind words, :D I hope you enjoy stitching it as much as I did.

That fabric is a beautiful colour and will work so well with the birds.

Can't wait to see your start.

The enabling carries on.....
