The umbrella

I finished the umbrella and then stitched the rest of the background! Just the flowers and dirt left.

Today progress

I did a bit more of the white background, added the blue raindrops and then started the umbrella.

April

Started the April round by The Collection by doing half Alicia Lace in Kreinik #8 for the background.

Finished!

I added ribbon and beads in the center-both Mill Hill seed and bugle beads. Last, I finished the border by adding beads to join the bands. This was a fun, fast stitch!

Border and beads

I have finished the border with my modification. I have added all the interior beads and am showing only half of the design so you can see all the beads.

The Border

Working on the border. First a cross with the pearl, then one with Kreinik and then rice stitch over the first cross.

Lots more!

The overall shot shows the outside border of cross stitches with Kreinik crosses over some of them. I am changing the outside border to create this shape instead of adding another design in the center of the N, S, E, and W sides. The second photo is a closeup of the center design that shows the beads adding to the centers all around.
