My Try at Cross Country and I Like It!!!

So I am a little late showing my progress for Fridays stitch in.  Here is a pic of my last stitch and what I did on Friday.  I finished 413 Dk Pewter gray on this page and now stitching 160 Medium Gray Blue and stitching all that color on this page.  I believe its called cross-country.  I managed to stitch 666 stitches on Friday

I am liking this cross-country!  Little more complicating but when the page starts coming to life it is exciting!

I have included a pic of my Ninja playing in the leaves.

Started Over On Black Wolf This Past Weekend

Over this weekend I stitched on Kustom Krafts Black Wolf.  Was stitching it on a gray linen but decided to start again on an off white fabric since it is total coverage and you will not see the fabric anyway.  Plus the linen was pretty expensive.  So the first update is what I stitched on the linen and the other is the off white fabric.  Before I started over I had put in 314 stitches in the linen.  The second o
update is where I started over and put in 692 stitches.


Happy Stitching!!

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year!  For this New Year of 2018 I decided to join a few Sals to help me get some of my WIPs and UFOs done.  At the moment I am stitching on Amongst the Tulips by Haed.  I have put in quite a few stitches.  Will insert pics here.

I have put in 1706 stitches in as of August 30, 2015 here is the update from then.  This is the upper left hand corner of the top of the page.
I will do an update later of my stitching on this one.  It is a Haed, Amongst the Tulips by Garmashova.

Enjoy your day and Happy Stitching!

Been Away But I have Been Stitching!

I have started a new one!  It is called Wise Owl from Dimensions.  I am stitching it for my daughter Ashli. Here is a photo of the pattern and how much I have done.
Here is what I have done.  125 stitches so far.  At the moment I am blending a grey and a blue which is the trees.  It is the right top page in the middle.  It is worked on 14 ct white aida.



The way I am stitching is with the cross country stitching where you stitch 1 color at a time until you finish your first page.  I love this style of stitching.
