Stitch-a-longs galore
It's Tuesday so it's time to post the first of my Toccata II SAL pictures. Tash suggested a Tuesday post - Toccata II-sday! A great idea! Here it is - we're doing one motif a week and I started in the top left corner.
My other SAL is of course Strawberry Garden with Lina. And here that one is. I've turned the corner at the top and I'm working down the other side now - well over half way there!
And finally, just because I need to show you, here's Pompeii Garden. This is part 4 finished on one of the four sides and a tiny start on part 5. I'm going to do both together as there's some backstitching on part 4 I don't want to do until part 5 is done (which fills in the two central bits and adds a roof on either side). Lots and lots to do but it's lovely. The amphora in the middle has come out so well.

Lovely stitching Nicki! That Strawberry Garden is really coming on a treat. Looking forward to seeing more of Toccata.
ReplyDeleteEverything you're doing is wonderful. Strawberry Garden just pops off the fabric you're doing it on.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year Nicki. You have some really beautiful stitching there!
ReplyDeleteToccata 2 looks lovely, good thing we started at different parts of the chart so we can see different parts every week :)
ReplyDeleteStrawberry Garden looks absolutely delicious, and the detail in pompeji garden is amazing!
Toccata as well! It's looking wonderful. I think I remember KarenV stitching that one last year and drooling over it then.
