Needlework Progress

I'm back to stitching! Right now I am mainly working on two projects - Irises from a chart by Carolyn Meacham. I'm stitching it with DMC cotton floss on 24 count canvas. Mostly I have background and a little backstitching to finish.



















And the Windermere class project by Susan Reed. This is stitched on 18 count canvas with linen thread, Caron Waterlilies, Balger ribbon, beads and DMC floss. It has pulled thread bands alternating with stitched bands using some of Susan Reeds wonderful techniques. I have to stitch beads on Band 6 and some stitching and beading on Band 8 - then I will be finished!
