Yes, I am working on XOctagon #10. This is the piece I worked on at the Super Bowl. First I used Rainbow Gallery Tiara and did the Smyrna Cross stitches. Then using Perle 5 in the powder blue, I did half crosses along each side of and between the Smyrna Crosses. Then using five different shades of DMC floss, I worked the diamond pattern that are horizontal, and then the vertical one. Next I used gold to fill in the horizontal diamonds. Last, I used navy blue Rainbow Gallery Very Velvet to do the dark blue outlines on the vertical diamonds. I will work on this for a couple of days to get it finished as it will be a birthday present. I will also be working background on the Tudor Dog to catch up around the stitched elements.Saturday, February 7, 2009

There is no need to rush, as my birthday isn't until July. That PVV looks fantastic outlining the diamonds.
WAIT A MINUTE!
That's for MY birthday!
Not until April, so you will have time to do a second for Judy.

I don't want to get blocked from your blog, so I won't mention that my birthday is in September. :) In case I didn't mention it before, your stitching in exquisite!
Hi Pat,
LOL!
I just love these designs and I have quite a large collection of the patterns and kits.
Ummm, I thought I would mention that I have the latest birthday as mine isn't until October so you will have lot's of time to stitch one for me! :-)
Actually, I might check and see if I have this one in my stash!

Hi Pat,
Forgot to mention that I've been keeping up with reading your posts but not commenting so I'm going back to comment on a few of the entries. :-)
