Round and round I go

I started Chatelaine's Little Tuscany Mandala a week ago yesterday and this is my progress as of last night:

I like that this one is small enough to start with the outer border (stitch count is 119 x 119) and work my way in to the center, as it will seem to progress more quickly as I get further along. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy watching these designs come to life layer by layer, and I love the way the colors look on the black Belfast so far:


I'm expecting a Heart in Hand model towards the end of the week, and then a model (models?) for Friendstitch possibly the week after that so I'm not sure how much more I'll get done on this one for a little while, but hopefully I'll get some good stitching in for the next few days.

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!

    Hello Melanie: Nice progress on this design, dark material is not my friend but I will stitch on it if a design calls for it. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

      Thanks Catherine. So far I'm still able to work on dark fabrics pretty easily, so I'll enjoy it while I can! 🤓
