Winter Watergarden part 10

I don't know what it is about these little birds, but the first one takes forever and the second one is stitched up very quickly.  Here's the whole thing.  Sorry about the pic, it's a little blurry

 And a closeup of my little robin?

Stay tuned for pics of part 11.  I'm pushing for a finish by the end of the year!

A WIP update and a finish!

I finally finished part 4 of Spring Knotgarden Sunday.  Almost didn't make it though...that last repeat almost did me in.  I persevered though and here's the result.

 Here's a closeup of the upper left corner.  I'm very happy with how the colors in the leaves blended together.

Tonight I finally finished the final part of Purple Garden stitched with the Sticklounge group.  To celebrate, I pulled out Petit Sampler which has not had any love for a while.

I almost forgot!  Welcome to my new followers!
