Update on Paradigm Lost

I finished one more motif on Paradigm Lost and a few letters that are near it. I have been trying so hard to get the piece for my DD finished and now working on her baby sampler that I'm not working on anything else. So I've decided to get myself back into a rotation, not sure I'm ready to set goals for myself yet but it will feel good to be working on everything instead of just a few pieces. I've currently got 6 projects going.

Thanks for all the nice comments about me becoming a grandmother. I certainly don't feel old enough to be one but looking forward to it :)

Quaker Halloween and Flowers

Below are the lovely flowers my husband gave me for Valentine's Day. Fresh flowers are my favorite thing to receive (especially from hubby).

Now here is my progress on Quaker Halloween. This first picture looks good but you need to look at the second picture to see how close I am to the edge of the linen. And I am not the one who cut this linen. The linen is from Vikki Clayton and I think she must have been in a hurry when she cut this.
Now, it is my fault that I'm so close to the edge. When I started my second motif I accidentally flipped my project around. This was such a silly mistake because I actually marked the top of the linen just so this wouldn't happen. Thankfully the person who will frame this for me is a friend and I've done this to her several other times and she always does an amazing job.

I'm off to a conference (for work) in New York this afternoon and won't be back until late Friday night. I'm not looking forward to it because I am so busy that this is kind of stressing me out.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Paradigm Lost

Paradigm Lost (Long Dog Samplers) has come up in my rotation for February and I've really enjoyed working on this. Excuse the first picture (it isn't ironed). I like it when I see people put before and after pictures on their blog so you can see the progress they've made so thought I'd try it. I finished one of the really large motifs. This is supposed to be a monochromatic piece but I'm stitching it multi-colored with HDF from Vikki Clayton.

So this is the before picture:

And here is the after. I also got more of the alphabet finished.

And here is a picture of the whole piece so far.

I signed up for my first exchange!! If you're interested go to Lainey's blog to sign up. I'm also going to do a one on one exchange with another blogger. I'm very excited about this since I've never done this before.

Thanks so much stopping by to visit.
