I put three more eyelets in the Vierlande Winders' Keeper - only 6 to go. I tried some finger looping but decided I needed to review the directions some more. I still haven't caught on to how it's done. I tried to skip a step and I probably shouldn't have. Do you really need to tape the ends down each time? Maybe.
I got the pre-stitching for the Amy Mitten class, Mute but not silent. It is a big piece of linen. But there was no chart to begin the actual stitching - only directions for basting! So I got about 1/4 of it basted last night. I was hoping to get a good start on it before our class May 20th. Rats.
I ironed the Purple Thread needle book. All I have to do now is sew the lining wool to it and attach the buttons.
I looked at the Online Needlework Show and noticed a company called Pinoy Stitch. I love the idea that you can download patterns and don't have to wait for them to come in the mail. I downloaded two bookmarks. It will be interesting to see how they turn out. I really got burned with a Heaven and Earth chart that nobody can tell what it is. So, we'll see.
So much to stitch and so little time!

this is just beautiful! I want to do one so much, but i'm afraid that I'd never finish it in this lifetime! how long has this taken you? Is it worth it?
