I estimated 130 hours stitching time for this design. Looking at how much I have done in 40+ hours, I think it is going to take even longer (I always underestimate the time required to do something!) but if I average 40 hours per month, I should be able to finish it by Christmas.

I managed to finish Floral Glove before the end of the month, but only just! I am pleased to have it finished and pleased with the finished article but I am far more pleased to have started my next project. I’ve been itching to do this for the last 5 months. When I was struggling with the long and short stitch on Camellia’s I thought that Trish Burr had launched her thread painting correspondence course solely for my benefit. I’ve only stitched one small element so far but this is now my evening project.

I have also stitched the last three Round Robin Travelling Pages. Some of these are starting to find their way home so I will soon be able to show pictures of my contribution. I have one more Travelling Page on a different subject and a couple of postcards still to do.
Happy Stitching

What a glorious magpie project!
It looks stunning - the colours are so rich and glowing.
Oh wow you have been really busy. You have such patience to work on these intricate and delicate pieces.
I think you and my sister must have scratched your eyes at the same time. I love your discipline of stitching every day before work...what a great way to center yourself for the day.
That beautiful purse will be ready before we can blink. Like I said before, it's a joy just to VIEW it!
