I haven't settled on a new focus project yet, and really that's okay. This week I've picked away at two different projects.
I kind of have it in my mind to finish up my January 1st start from this year, Peacock by Alessandra Adelaide. Christin and I started them together, but she's been done hers for awhile now. Usually I'm the first to finish! I've had a hard time getting "into" this project.
When I haven't been able to get "into" Peacock I've pulled out an oldie, but goodie Arabian Woman a kit from Lanarte. I fell in love with and bought this project a long time ago, and it cost me a fair bit. A few years ago I put some stitches in it to make myself get back to it. I've enjoyed working on it this week. The fabric on this piece comes painted and there's a little "+" where to start so I've slowly worked my way from that start point, to my happy place, the top left hand corner.
As promised last week here are the other projects I have started in my stitching basket... Which project would you like to watch come to life? Leave me a comment!
Mini River Cottage - Michael Powell
The Big Red - The Silver Lining
Cirque des Carreaux - Ink Circles
Fortunate Traveller - Teresa Wentzler

Lots of good stitching going on. I love that JBW star!
Your finishes look lovely. I vote for the TW.
Cute finishes and lovely stitching Dani. I would like to see the Michael Powell piece grow.

Hard question ---- Cirque des Carreaux or Fortunate Traveler. Maybe give each project a number and roll the dice each night.
Happy stitching.
Beautiful finishes, Dani!! The Arabian project looks a big one with tiny stitches. I like the last project the most among your WIPs, different and interesting!
Lovely little finishes! Well done :)
All the others are beautiful too, I can't blame you for finding it hard to choose. I narrowly missed out on the Arabian Woman on Ebay the other night, so would love to see her stitched up ;)
Lots of lovely things Dani. Redwork always looks so elegant.
The traveller is definitely a good choice for you.
Great finishes, and all your WIPs are wonderful. I would love to see more progress on the TW!
Star shaped finishing would be very awesome.
I think you should go for mini river cottage. :)
My goodness Dani, between your small finishes and all the work you've done on your big projects...I'm jealous :) HA! Good going you!
Very nice progress. I would love to see Arabian Woman stitched.
Nice finishes!
For me, it would be a toss up between the Ink Circles and TW.
I'm going to say Big Red only because I have that as a WIP but I started at the bottom to watch them grow. Enjoy whatever your choice is!
Love your two Smalls, I stitched the star a while back.
I'm torn between the Michael Powell because it's the smallest and you could easily finish that and the TW because I love TW and could enjoy your stitching for months!
Your finishes are gorgeous! I am becoming a fan of one colour designs. I vote for Arabia Woman as I love this one and I didn't realise it had painted fabric!
Cirque des Carreaux!
Lots of great stitching going on. Can't wait to see the peacock finished. All are looking fabulous.
Your two finishes are lovely. Of those you have in progress my vote would be for Fortunate Traveler. however if you are looking for a fast finish i would vote for the Michael Powell piece. I love his designs as well. I also love the quality of the work you do. In any case, have fun!!
Wow! You've been a busy stitcher. I love the colors in The Big Red and would like to see more.
Cute finishes!! I'd love to see the peacock piece come to life!! But any project you do is beautiful!!
Lots of lovely projects to choose from, love the Ink Circles one!
First of all Congratulations on your awesome finish of The Accolade, it turned out fantastic and you must be so pleased to have it finished. That's a lot of work (and confetti) and it's gorgeous! Hard to chose on a next focus piece, torn between Fortunate Traveller (love TW pieces ) and River Cottage (love all the colors in M.Powell's pieces). It will be fun to watch Arabian Woman grow as well. the painted fabric is so interesting, and like you I'd want to start in the upper left, so would have wanted to work my way up to that point as well.
I love that French Country Star! blessings, marlene
Two nice little finishes. And some real good progress on your two WIPs. That fabric which comes with the Arabian Women is looking very interesting.
I love Michael Powell pieces, so my vote is for him.
Lots of beautiful stitching in progress.
