Writing, sewing, crazy quilting and embroidery are some of my favorite activities. This blog will be my tool to set my goals, share my progress, and make each day a step closer to achieving my dreams.

Twilight Duel Update #17 February 2017
In January, I shared this progess photo of the Heaven and Earth Designs Twilight Duel cross-stitch I am working on for my youngest son. I just love Ruth Thompson's dragons. There is another challenge on the New Official Heaven and Earth Designs Facebook Group to complete a blank page. So, I have skipped over to page 13.
Because I began this project on August 30, 2015, I try to take a photo on the 30th of each month. This was my progress on January 30th. (I am itching to fill in pages 3 and 7!)
My mother-in-law spoiled me with a scroll lap frame for Christmas. My husband said she was quite nervous about it, because I had not even told my husband I wanted one. My delight delighted her. This is my progress on page 13. There was a bit of progress made on pages 7 and 14, too. 1,801 stitches have been added since my update on January 9th. Percent Complete: Project: 23.79% (It was 22.34%) Pages 1 & 2: 100% Page 3: 18.94% Page 4: 100% Page 5: 1.83% Page 6: 0% Page 7: 11.08% (It was 7.26%) Page 8: 100% Page 9: 2.73% Page 10: 0.25% Page 11: 0% Page 12: 0% Page 13: 26.08% (It was 2.41%) Page 14: 3.44% (It was 2.9%)
I am joining Monday Stitchery Link Party #97 at Super Mom - No Cape! This week's free embroidery pattern is a cute little donkey with a basket of flowers. I do hope you will hop over to see what others have shared. Thank you for stopping by! Renee
Well done Renee! You are making fantastic progress with this project... it is such a dramatic scene and is going to look fabulous when it is finished. How lovely to have the lap frame to work on too.... what a wonderful and thoughtful gift! Christine x
Such detail, Renee! I love HAED for that, but find them too intimidating to attempt at this stage - maybe in a few years when my life might be quieter... The colours are so good... great progress!

ReplyDeleteExcellent update! You're doing well with all the colours. Btw, your title might need editing? It says the 17th. ;)
ReplyDeleteThose Heaven and Earth Designs and always beautiful, but they take forever! Keep on stitching!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful project and sits nicely in the new frame.

Such detail, Renee!

Your mother-in-law is obviously in tune with you and what you might like...what a perfect gift!
ReplyDeleteCan I have your mother-in-law?! She sounds wonderful. Your project looks awesome but I would have to fill in those gaps!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Renee.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift from your MIL.
Fabulous progress! It's so nice to see that almost every page has something finished, and you've made a lot of stitches from page 13~congratulations!

ReplyDeleteThat area of page 13, is like a little teaser of what is to come! :)
