I'm a little late for GG but kinda on time for IHSW so that balances out, right?
GIFTED GORGEOUSNESS
For the GG SAL I worked on my sister's gift project - October Rose Zircon by Maxine Gadd from Imaginarium. My deadline is October 2019 so I really need to motor on with this gift. Also I have moved it off the Q-snaps and onto a permanent Millennium frame so my stitching is much faster now as the Q-snap was awkward to work with using the Millennium stand. Fingers crossed, that also making it my focus piece will speed things up.

You can just see the corner of her eye. I started in the middle which is probably the most boring page of the entire chart. *Sigh*
IHSW
IHSW weekend I spent working on Alisha by Myka Jelinka. I was shocked when I checked my cross stitch app and discovered that I haven't stitched on her for 2 years!!!!! So she has been added to the rotation too.

I was flying through it until I started on the parrot. Confetti city. I am trialing diagonal stitching since I have watched 2 floss tubes vids on it and I think it really helps with the lines when doing a massive chunk of light coloured background. Will see how this goes. I'm going to work on her until I finish the 2 pages. The second page is all just light blue background with a bit of shoe down the botton.
Here's what the chart looks like.
That's all from me stunners!
I'll be back at the end of the month with all my other progress for March and April.
Take care and may life be magical

Thanks for taking part in GG this month, I am glad I rechecked the deadline as I thought it was THIS October! You'd have seriously smoking needles to reach that!
ReplyDeleteLove the second design, but that's what blue fabric was dyed for IMO! The parrot looks despite the confetti. Diagonal stitching is a good idea and a bit more interesting too!
ps Don't forget to link up!
ReplyDeleteGood progress on both the projects.
ReplyDeleteLove the parrot one so bright, great progress on both happy stitching
ReplyDeleteBeautiful progress!
ReplyDeleteOh that parrot looks amazing =) Great work on him and Rose Zirkon =)
ReplyDeleteGreat progress Alicia! I just love Alisha and hope that one stays in the rotation!
ReplyDeleteThese are both so lovely, October 2019 is achievable right? You've got to keep Alisha out though, she's stunning!
