ARABIA

Now that I have learned how to put pictures on the blog, I'll probably drive you crazy, but I have decided to put up pictures of things in progress, not wait until the piece is complete.  I encourage you to do the same.

This is a piece called Arabia.  It is by Kathy Rees from Needle Delights Originals and I'm doing it for Judy.  The first time I saw the threads I wasn't impressed, but I wanted to stitch the piece.  The photo above shows the smyrna cross dividing lines.  They look simple, but I couldn't count straight and kept going to Carol so she could find my mistakes.

This picture shows parts 1 & 2 of section A.  These were really fun to stitch.  The colors don't seem to be related, but I just started part 3 and that watercolor starts to tie it all together.  I am starting to really love it.  Hopefully in a few days, I'll have 3 & 4 completed.  Stay tuned.
