Mary Update

Hi Everyone,

Here is my Mary. I have not made the progress I had hoped but I am still working on her.

Happy New Year!

An update

Hi everyone!
Poor Mary has been languishing on the sidelines since June when I posted this pic:



I decided she needed some stitching time and that I want to finish her in 2011. Sooooo, over the Christmas holiday I pulled her out and got lots done. I'm hoping to get more done in the upcoming month -- maybe get her finished?? We shall see .....

Happy New Year!

Part One Completed

Hi Ladies,

Sorry for disappearing and leaving you all in the lurch. 2010 was not a very good year and when I wasn't fielding bad news and the after effects, I was gift stitching.

I just completed Part 1. I still have a long way to go!

I am stitching this on 40 count Lakeside Linens Fawn with assorted overdyeds. I am devoting the rest of this month to Mary and hope I can stitch and finish Part 2. We'll see how far I get. I hope you all are giving a little attention to your Marys too.

I definitely hope to have my Mary completed in the first half of 2011.

Valerie :)

Latest on Mary

Here she is as of last night. Cant wait to get home from school today and stitch some more.

I may have to wait to see how balanced the blue looks on the piece and may end up ripping out or just adjusting the upper left side.

Mary is out in the open again and has become my official UFO. Part 1 is almost finished after some frogging of a motif - I changed the colour to pale lilac from pale blue - much better! How is everyone else doing? Don't tell me you've all long finished and I'm left here on my own?

Another Mary Start

Yes, I know I have already started Mary, but I just started her again. LOL I actually do hope to finish them both one day. Here's a pic of my latest version:


Fabric: 40-count Antique White Newcastle Linen
Fiber: Blue Bunny floss from Hand Made by Nina
Stitched 1 over 2
Progress as of 1 August 10

The main reason I decided to start her again was because of the fiber. I saw it on Nina's personal blog and absolutely fell in love with it.

Here's my progress on my other over 1 version of Mary:


Fabric: 36-count Maritime White linen from Lakeside Linens
Fibers: Variety of GAST, CC, and WDW
Stitched 1-over-1 using tent stitch
