Updates on my current WIP: Magic Fire, Dunlee Darnum and Daenerys, tiny new start Impossibilium and STASH BAN BEGINS

Hi guys

I disapeared for a while, I know. I just really want to take my time and get something worthwhile to present on this blog.

OK, before posting pictures, I just want to announce that I am officially on a strict stash ban for a few months. BAN BAN BAN now sounds like BANG BANG BANG to me LOL. Pain in the *** So many lovely charts coming out from Tilton, Paine Free Crafts, Color Cascade and I am so torn for not  be able to get any of them. I have to squeeze budget for some personal matters. Anyway, meanwhile, I'll try to focus on my current W.I.P, to see whether I'll have another finish for this year.

Picture time:

MAGIC FIRE by Esmira (Paine Free Crafts): 3 pages done

Before

 After

DUNLEE DARNUM by JB Monge (Tilton Crafts): 6 pages done

Before
 After

DAENERYS (Love Thy Thread): 2.5 pages done

Before
 After


I also did a tiny bit new start on Impossiblium by Aimee Steward but so far only two rows of the first page done. Just way too much confetti and colors. Apart from that, my first time stitch on 32 count linen and I hate it. So I put it aside. Shy~~~

Here how it looks





I hope you all enjoy and please leave comments if you like it ~

Lots of love

Gwen

    All beautiful! I love the Aimee Stewart one. Are you stitching 2 over 2 or 1 over 1?

      Hi Justine, it's 1 over 1. I find the coverage is great but my needle size does not seem to fit the hole (size 28) so I broke several needles while trying to pull it over. And plus, the hole is way to small for me to identify. I really need to get a magnifier.

    Gwen you are one amazing stitcher!! I can't believe how much you have done on all your projects. If you don't like the 32ct maybe you should restart on another fabric. It's a huge project to do on a fabric you don't like and it's such a beautiful chart it would be a shame if you abandoned it. I wouldn't even attempt 1 over 1 on 32 it would send me insane...well insaner LOL! They all look spectacular, well done you!

      Oh well~~~I really need an enabler as I can not ignore the fact that I hate the fabric which makes me hate the chart. Unreasonable me! lol
