Hello!
I hope you all enjoyed your Valentine's Day. Not much happened here. DB had to work and I'm not the biggest fan of going out to dinner when literally EVERYONE is out doing the same thing. We are planning on going out next weekend to Red Lobster since we still have an unused gift card from Christmas. Mmmm. Lobster and crab and all the other delicious little sea creatures.
So it is time for an update on our Gifted Gorgeousness SAL hosted by the dear Jo at Serendipitous Stitching. We're all stitching pieces that have either been gifted to us (all or in part) or are being stitched as gifts for someone else. It's a wonderful way to get through some of those goals we've all set out to complete this year! For more information click here.
I'm still plugging away at Hummingbird Welcome, gifted to me by my grandmother (partially finished). There has been a decent amount of progress this month, which makes me happy. I am still trying to get better at rotating projects...
The bottom half of this piece is FINISHED! Woo hoo! I even managed to figure out the stem stitch, that I've never done before, and I'm pleased with how it looks.
The top half should go much quicker as I believe the only thing left is backstitching the leaves, plus it's a bit smaller than the bottom!! I may even get this one done before my May goal. Might even wind up having this one framed as opposed to doing it myself?! Ya never know.
Until next time. :-)
Your hummingbird piece is SO beautiful, Caitlin!

Such wonderful progress. It's a beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteLooks great. Well done on getting the bottom finished and on tackling that new stitch!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the bottom 'half'! I Agree, the top looks much smaller, you should be done with this in no time now :)
ReplyDeleteWell done on completing the bottom half, its lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job! The bottom half looks gorgeous :D
ReplyDeleteCaitlin, this is such a pretty piece and such lovely stitching.
ReplyDeleteIt really is looking lovely Caitlin!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in GG this month. Great progress on your Hummingsbirds. I really like the way it combines cross stitch with embroidery too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece! I definitely think your grandma left you with all the hardest bits to stitch!
