Stitch guide

The Fiery Brazil stitch guide is ready!  It has been finished into this gorgeous pillow!  The guide is available with the canvas or from me.

The Red Flower

The red flower is done.  More beads!  I also finished the leaves for this flower.  So...........this piece is finished!  I will fine tune my stitch guide for it next!  The guide will be available shortly!

Wouldn't this be fab on a tote bag?!

Another one done!

The orange flower is finished!  I did the rest of the beads and all of the leaves!

Leaves

The big green leaves around the pink flower......I planned on doing them with the Fly stitch but they
took over the canvas. I frogged that all out and started over.  The smaller stitch is much better!

Fuzz and beads

The orange flower has the center all filled in and almost all of the beads on the petals. 

Orange!

I luv this one!  Puts the fire in the Fiery Brazil part.  All of the petals are done and I am adding beads next!

Fuzzy center

These are Brazilian flowers after all, so of course the center is fuzzy!

Pink!

The petals of the pink flowers are all stitched and beaded!

Orange bell flowers

The orange bell flowers are so cute!  Love the hanging tendrils so I added beads to them, of course!

All of the white.

I finished up the white background pattern!  On to the posies!

Starting the background

White Marlitt for the background stitch.  Although there is a lot of counting and compensating, it moves fairly quickly.

All of them!

All of the black leaves are done!  On to the background!

And the right side

I finished the ones on the right side and did the oval leaves as well!

Bottom leaves

The bottom black leaves are all in place!

Progress again

More of the black background leaves.  These move along fairly quickly and I am using Twinkle.

Itching to get started

I am going to work the background leaves first and started in the upper right corner.  Not bad progress for a day while I also plot the stitches for other areas.

Another Fabulous design!

I have received Fiery Brazil, one of the new Jungle Heat series by Leigh Designs!  It is a 10 x 10 design on 18 count.  The entire series was announced at the Market this weekend and can be seen here:

Jane of Chilly Hollow is going to be working on Sultry Outback in case you missed her note on the list of stitch guides available site.

I see fun fibers, beads, shiny stuff coming in this new piece that I will write a stitch guide as I go.
Stay tuned this week and I get out my turbo needles!  Let the fun begin!
