Its the International Hermit and Stitch Weekend! This month its falling on the PERFECT weekend! Monday is Family Day, a stat. holiday here in Ontario. So I get THREE days of stitching! Today The Accolade comes up in my rotation. So here it is before I put a single stitch into it this long weekend. I imagine I'll be doing page happy dance at some point!!!
I'm not sure how much stitching time I'm going to have once the weekend is over, I'm getting ready to go away this Friday. I'm off on my Dominican Experience with 14 new young minds to shape and expose to the realities outside of North America and just how good we have it here. I think for the plane trip I'll be taking a long ignored project, Cirque des Circles by Ink Circles. Working with one colour is just so much easier when you're travelling.
Your Christmas Sampler will be very pretty ,I remember that pattern from the
ReplyDeleteWorld of Cross Stitching Magazine (UK)
Wow beautiful stitching x
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip Dani. I'll be looking forward to your posts when you return, sharing your adventures with us.
ReplyDeleteDevoting this weekend to stitching too. I am sure the dove will develop well with your long weekend. CJ in OK
ReplyDeleteI get that falling asleep at 9pm thing. I'm often a victim of that too. But good progress on the sampler anyway. Love your next rotation piece and you are so near the end!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip!
The Accolade looks amazing Dani! It's really taking shape now.
ReplyDeleteI love The Accolade, Dani but probably a wise idea not to take it with you on the plane. Enjoy your school trip. Such a good idea. Happy stitching to you this IHSW.
ReplyDeletegreat progresses!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous progress on your HAED Dani! yay for three days of stitching!!
ReplyDeleteYour WIPS look great. I agree that stitching on one color is easier when you travel.

ReplyDeleteI hope you get lots of stitching time in on the Accolade. Enjoy your long weekend! Can't wait to see the after picture of The Accolade! Good luck with your preparations for your trip.
ReplyDeleteOne Color Traveling Stitching is always a great choice.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a wonderful thing, how you take the kids to the D.R. - what a wonderful experience.
Very nice progress! I really like that sampler :D

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the progress on the dove. You are off to a great start. Lovely stitching :)
ReplyDeleteThe stitching looks great. I agree that single colour stitching definately is easier while travelling.
ReplyDeleteGreat stitching Dani! I'm always amazed each time I see your Accolade. And I can't believe it's that time of year for another DR trip!
ReplyDeleteLove your progress report, Dani--The Accolade is really coming together beautifully.
