Margaret Bendig Plum Blossom Kimono
24 ct grey congress cloth
Jardin Prive SAL
Various called-for silks
Here is what I have accomplished after my first-ever needlepoint class this past weekend! I know it doesn't look like much got done. But I learned a lot about technique (which I sorely needed). And I feel very confident to move on. To see what this is going to look like when finished see below-
Jardin Prive SAL Sampler aux Bouquets
30 ct natural linen
Blackbird Designs
DMC threads
I decided to replace the orange threads in the letters to more of a magenta color-I like it much better.
Blackbird Designs 2008 Mystery Sampler
30 ct R & R Highland Mist
Called for WDW & GAST threads
Hope all is well with you. I am managing to keep up on my blog reading and really enjoying the Ann Grant samplers plus much more!
Love the pieces you are working on. That kimono will be gorgeous!

Pretty progress pics, Teresa, and so many of them. Love them all, and I'm doing the jardin prive too!

WOW, They look great
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful projects! I especially love the blue flowers on the Jardin Prive and your choice of color for the letters is perfect!
ReplyDeleteJust love your needlepoint project! I have seen that one before at my local store and thought it was quite striking. I love needlepoint because it offers so much more than cross stitch does. You've done very well for your first class.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work on both pieces! That kimono is really gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love all your stitching.
ReplyDeleteOhhh...your projects are so pretty. Love your SAL piece...don't know how much longer I can resist this one.
ReplyDeletenice progress....are you looking for any needlepoint patterns...I have some and will not never do not know how to do them! Let me know
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your processes! Kimono needlework would be a beautiful one!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Tatyana
That kimono will be fantastic - it looks like lots of fun too. Great going on the WIPs :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on your WIPs, the kimono is going to be stunning
ReplyDeleteLovely start on the kimono! Looks like it'll be a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThe magenta colour looks good.
They're both beautiful! Love that SAL!
ReplyDeleteOh I think that Kimono is going to be very beautiful. I like the Jardin Prive SAL you are working. I also love the BBD Mystery piece you are working on. I've started it but I am almost sure it has ended up at the bottom for now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and your visit.
Jackie.
Teresa, I love your needlepoint project! It looks great. Lovely work on the SAL!
