Olympic progress and some finishes
I finished the first villa! It's taken nearly the whole two weeks but it looks so good. I'm working on the outer columns for the next three villas now.
And a couple of other finishes too. First up is Secret Garden by Blackbird Designs. I did this in my lunch hour and it seems to have taken ages. It needs to be made up but the stitching is done.
Secret Garden by Blackbird Designs
Fabric: 36ct Pipi from Countrystitch
Thread: Needle Odyssey Dip & Twist 077 - a gift from Barbara
And two more blocks on the Carriage House Samplings alphabet. W for last month's SAL with Karen and X for this month. Just three more to go and it'll be done!

WOW, the villa is gorgeous, Nicki, you did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting the villa done!
ReplyDeleteSecret Garden looks great, as does your CHS ABC sampler. I've just about started H, hope to finish it by a week on Sunday. I might try and do 2 one month, as I'm only one behind you now.
The villa is looking fantastic, Nicki. Wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteThe little Secret Garden is lovely and I can't wait to see your ABC sampler finished.
Beautiful stitching as always.
You have been VERY productive!

Wow these are lovely!
ReplyDeleteAll your stitching is amazing, but I must admit I have a soft spot for Chatlaine, and your stitching really does it justice, the villa looks great!
