Another motif done on Maria, which brings me to halfway. I wanted to have a little more done for this weekend, but I don't think that is going to happen. Running errands always takes longer then it should, and they generally aren't that much fun. But, I managed to stitch last night, and finished the 2nd and 3rd 'Godfather' movies. Each one of those is almost 3 hours each, I had no idea! They are worth every hour.
I think that linen has a mind of its own when it comes to taking pictures of it. Like it morphs into something it isn't. The threads you can generally get a great idea, but gosh, this linen looks like something else :). It is not as grey as it looks. I tried my ott-light on with it, instead of just the overhead...oh well, at least we all have the same trouble, and if you recognize the color of linen, chances are you know the shade!
Off to finish errands and laundry! Thanks for all the comments-- I just LOVE reading them!

So beautiful! There are so many designs I want to get to -- and you keep reminding me of some of them! lol! I know what you mean about taking pictures of the linen. It never looks like the real color, does it? We need a camera expert to teach all us stitchers how to capture real color. :D
ReplyDeleteI love the colors on this one - and the little birds! Would you remind me what this pattern is and the designer? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou're zooming along on this! It looks great. I know what you mean about getting a true representation of the fabric in photos... regardless, though, it looks good! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. Another design that I want to do someday! I know what you mean about taking pictures - it's always a crapshoot as to how they're going to come out.
ReplyDeleteThat is looking so pretty! Love the colors on this!
ReplyDeleteOh Maria is just beautiful!!! I loooove her! And, I am, as ever, awed by your stitchy speed!!
ReplyDeleteLove your Maria. She is one of my favorite samplers. I know what you mean about the fabric colors in photos...frustrating! I usually try to take my shots outside.
ReplyDeleteYour conversion is so pretty! I really love the colors and that little is precious! I've stitched on Mockingbird before and you're right - it is different than the photo shows. I have a hard time getting my stitching colors to be true in pictures.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the next photo!
Enchanting, the scheme is perfect, color very refined and the choice of the flax is delicious!
ReplyDeleteI adore your embroideries:)
