Most of the the large red

Most of the large red flower on the right is done.  I ran out of thread to finish the red petals, so I beaded and sequined the center and will move on.

Here and there

All the green leaves and stems are finished on the right side.  I am working on finishing up the large red and pink flower now.

The last two green ones

I finished the last two green flowers and all of the dark red leaves.  I have also stitched a few more green leaves and have just a few left to do.

A Design by Loretta Spears

Jane in Chilly Hollow and I are going to work a counted chart.  This is simply titled A Design by Loretta Spears and was published by Needle Necessities in 1993.  The design calls for gray Congress Cloth but I am using pale blue with Threadworx.  The Needle Necessities color conversions are 1133 for the floss and 81133 for the Perle.

Another green flower and........

I finished another green flower, the bud behind it and more stems in the upper right corner.

I also took an overall photo to show the progress so far!

The large red and pink

I finished all of the yellow and gold background spikes.  I then did a couple more stems before starting the red and pink flower.  I have the back three petals stitched and most of the pink area done.

Happy New Year! and........

Happy New Year Everyone!

Wishing you all health, happiness and peace in 2017!

 I completed two more of the burgundy leaves, spikes across the top, and started the large red background rose.  I am continuing to work here and there...where shall I go next!
