First my long neglected ort glass...I got to top it up a bit this month. Seeing as summer didn't see too much action in the stitching department. And to celebrate a happy dance that I am also reporting this post is my Hungarian dancing girl. Doesn't she look striking beside all those orts?
My happy dance....Finished 6 Fatmen last night! Even added the little snowflake embellishments. I loved stitching this with the other ladies that were part of the Monday night SAL. I am so pleased with how it pops on this Colonial Blue fabric. I still have another piece of the same size that if I choose to one day stitch the 6 Snow Belles I'll do it on that for a matching piece. We'll see how that goes and if time allows. My problem is that I have sooooo many projects that I want to stitch and |I know that I will never get to them all. So I go with what feels right at the time.
6 Fatmen by Lizzie Kate - Stitched on 28 ct Colonial Blue Lugana
In saying that...there is a work in progress that I had forgotten about until I opened one of my project boxes. So I'm concentrating on this piece to get it finished before I start something else. I should have plenty of time because hubby is going bow hunting this weekend, and I signed up for IHSW as well, another thing that I haven't done all summer. So between purging some stuff from yet another closet, I will be doing some power stitching.

YAY!! It looks great, Barbi! Really pops on that blue fabric, too...
Enjoy your stitching time this weekend--I'm so jealous! It's my weekend to work at the library so not much stitching time for me :(
It looks fantastic and I'm glad I wasn't the only one who 'cheated' a little in the final week or so to get it completed. Good luck with all your other WIP's.
A very nice finish and other stiching. I also like the Hungarian dancing girl (I am from Hungary:).
Oh, the blue fabric really sets the snowmen off! Great job. :)
Big congrats on finishing 6 fat men Barb! They are so cute!!! Lovely progress on Maxim and Zoya!!
