Even though I didn't have the right color, I had a lot of fun stitching the grass because it's all bargello. I love bargello. Have you all seen Coni's finished bargello canvas work piece? I would love to stitch something like that one day!
For those thinking of stitching this - there is a mistake on the left detail grass pattern - the bottom row is missing. That caused me to frog a couple times. I must have been tired because I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong! :)
Well, nothing else going on here. Just hanging out with the kids - watching Spongebob. :) Write soon!
OH, very pretty Nicole!! Can't wait to see it in person. When will that be btw? ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Nicole! I particularly like the flower band at the bottom. The colours in this one are just beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteOK, now I have to go get this out of the WIP basket and get back to work on it. Soooo pretty. Wonder if I can even come close to your lovely stitching? (Probably not, but I get points for trying, right?)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out! Don't you think the word "bargello" should be the name of a sorbet flavor?
What gorgeous stitching, Nicole! YGG with the furious cleaning so that you can get a good case of Stitch Ass going on. I often do the same!! LOL
ReplyDeleteYour bargello grass came out beautiful, the color switch works great. I am with you about bargello, it is so fun to stitch. CJ ok;-)
ReplyDeletei think i like the contrast in greens with your lighter color better than the original. wonderful way to spend a weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou have accomplished sooooooooo much on The Riddle and it is so pretty!! I love it! I wish I had the fabric and threads and I would want to start on mine. That is just so beautiful Nicole!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm loving watching your progress! Glad you had so much stitching time. :D
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Nicole, I love all of that grass area!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Nicole- love the bargello work!
ReplyDeleteYay! Spongebob! LOL! My 19 year old BabyGirl still watches Spongebob. Hopefully you like to watch SB as much as your boys do because you may be watching him for years!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on your Riddle. I like the green you used - it looks good.
Oh wow, it's so pretty! I think the green looks great.
ReplyDeleteYou're moving along quickly with this one, though it's not surprising being able to stitch the whole weekend. How wonderful and indulgent. :) It's terrific to get some quality stitching time in. I wasn't familiar with this pattern until I looked at DT website for it. It's quite a large piece. It will be amazing when finished.
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty...I really love this pattern...the colors are all so pretty and I think your green will look just fine.
ReplyDeleteYou do beautiful stitching
Wow those colours just pop on that fabric! I love bargello too!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Nicole! You go girl! I did buy the pattern last year!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Nicole! I love that bargello portion. I may have to look into getting this pattern - it's different and beautiful. Once again, you've enabled me! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd Spongebob - what can I saw - my kids still watch it (AUGHH) and they're 12 and 16!
That is beautiful!
