#3 Rodin

I have set up the base stitches for the third Kick Back ornament called Rodin.  The only difference so far is the color of the inside box of Smyrna crosses.

 

Signac finished!

I finished the Beatty border with the green floss, filled in the inner diamond corners with Opalesence and filled the inner box with Kreinik in diagonal darning.  The instead of a letter, I added the peppermint button.  On to the next one!

 

Progress on Signac

I filled in the four corners around the diamond with floss and Kreinik.  The the inner border of Beatty stitches is started with Kreinik.

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you all a safe and Merry Christmas!  I hope you are enjoying the preparations to celebrate the festivities.  I will be back after the Holidays with more stitching updates. Wishing that 2021 will be a better year for the whole world.  Now, I will go and make some goodies!

 

Corners

I filled in the corners of the diamond using Perle and Kreinik and then added a bugle bead. 

 

Kick Back #2

I have set up the base stitching for the next Kick Back called Signet.  I am not following the stitching order on this one as I have a limited space to stitch and have an edge for finishing.  So I needed to do the outside edge first and it will fit!

Finished!

This one is finished!  I added a freeform Christmas tree and then a darning patterned background for the very center.  This one is ready to be finished!

 

 

Lots of progress

First I placed the long Very Velvet stitches around the square.  Then, I filled in the corners by laying three threads across creating a braided look.  Then the curved stitches were placed.  Lastly, Crescents are created with a single strand of Grandeur.

And Snow

I have started working the snow using Kreinik #8.

And I will be gone for a couple of days, as I am remodeling the stitching room!

 

It's fuzzy penguin

I used Burmilana for his fur and then Fuzzy Stuff for his scarf and fringe.  All of this was worked in Brick stitch and then brushed to get the furry effect.  I added a black bead for his eye.  Now on to the snow!

 

Working down

My Splendor came in and I finished the blue background.  Then I moved on and continued in the medieval stitch from his face and finished the body.
