The Girl that Stitches

Nocturne It's been a long time since Nocturne has seen the light of day!  This project was one of the three pieces with the highest amount of votes, when everyone voted for the projects they wanted to see more progress on.   I really wanted to complete page 8 for this blog but I'm only about halfway through.  The chart I'm working on is the old version.   After discovering the art was re-charted, I put the wip aside for awhile to decide whether or not to restart with the newer chart.  I've decided to continue working on the original chart though.  I've already restarted this one before and don't have the heart to restart it again, especially since quite a decent amount has been completed.  Anyway, the newer chart may blend better and have more depth but I still think the original is pretty!  They both have their strengths and weaknesses.

Progress on this chart is now at about 53% complete, so just over the halfway mark. Previous Progress: Current Progress:       Butterflies Galore! I'm very excited to share that Freddy Werner is stitching the butterfly chart I made! You can see pictures (posted in the downloads tab with permission) or follow her stitching progress via Instagram. She is considering filling the wings in with variegated thread…  I can't wait to see more of her stitching! I have always loved butterflies.  When Heaven & Earth did requests I asked to have Adolescence by Dahlig charted.  I've had this chart waiting in the wings for some time due to my indecision about fabric and also trying not to have too many projects on the go (which I’ve obviously relaxed about lol!) I do plan to start stitching this (next year) and finally have fabric sort
