Stitching Progress

[annuin]

Sunday night I finished part 2 of my St. Petersburg White Nights cross-stitch piece. Hopefully this weekend I'll manage to get part 3 completed. I'm hoping to catch up with the online class a bit over the next month or two (which is currently at part 9, with parts released monthly).

And the picture doesn't even do all the sparkly metallics justice at all (or the colours... I took the picture inside with just a lamp and the flash, rather than natural light which helps a lot).

I can imagine. (I can never get good pictures of my crafties.)

I can't get over how gorgeous your cross stitch is. I can do samplers. I never knew there was stuff like this out there.

I never knew it either, until I found out my aunt was doing ones from this designer.

I bought/"inherited" this chart from my aunt after she passed away:


She worked on it somewhat, and just under a quarter is completed:


The designer's site is here: http://chatelaine-design.de/newweb/ The Mandala section is the main one to look at (IMO), those are the designs I like the best. Some of the Mandala Gardens start life as Mysteries, where you don't know what the pattern looks like besides a picture of materials and a description, so it's a surprise as each piece is released each month. Others start life as Online Classes, like the one I'm doing, where you have a computer generated preview picture and know pretty much what it'll look like (barring fine details etc.).

So it's all my aunt's fault, she got me into this designer.
