I almost realized my goal of having both Miss Apple Blossom and Miss Cherry Blossom finished before the next two designs in the series were released on the 15th, as I was able to complete Miss Cherry Blossom on the 17th:
I'm now waiting for the two new releases to reach me, which are Misses Blackberry and Blueberry. I'm hopeful that they will work on the same fabric used for the first two, which is Zweigart's green/white leaves Belfast:
After Cherry Blossom was done, I decided to pull out Teresa Wentzler's You Were Hatched, which I started back in January and did just a little bit of work on before switching to a Chatelaine I wanted to have done before the Chatelaine retreat this past July:
The Wentzler-themed Queen City Stitch Retreat starts three weeks from this Thursday, so I figured it was time to get this out and see if I could finish it before then. After three days with plenty of stitching time, I'm pretty sure I can have it done later this week:
Definitely glad I chose a small one to do; there are five shades of blues used in this piece, and all five are made up of blends, which seems just a tad excessive--can't imagine how many blends are used in one of her big ones!😄
Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!
The Misses are so pretty, as ill the next 2 be also.
ReplyDeleteYou Were Hatched looks great, her designs are intense!

Thanks Marilyn! I have quite a few of her charts, and they just seem a bit overwhelming; so gorgeous, though!
DeleteMisses Apple and Cherry look wonderful and I'm sure the next 2 ladies will look fine on the same fabric! I remember wanting to start the Castle by Teresa Wentzler but chickened out after seeing all the blends!🐔
ReplyDeleteThanks Shelly! Aside from the blends, all the partial stitches are a killer, too; they look amazing at the end, but it's hard to commit to doing a large piece that you know isn't going to be a pleasure to work on. 🤷🏻♀️
DeleteYou have been very busy, I am so in love with Miss Cherry Blossom and the fabric color.

Isn't that a pretty fabric? I bought some when it first came out and I've been waiting for the right design to come along--these seemed to be a good fit. 🌸💮
DeleteOh, the cherry and apple blossomg are so cute, and I'm sure the two 'Berry' designs will, as well! Great work on your tiny little dragon, as well.
