New Here and a UFO!

Hi everyone! I'm new here. Thanks for letting me join! I would like to work on one of my oldest UFO's... Chatelaine Indian Summer Reflections. It was Mystery VI when I started it. I'm on part 4 and I can't remember why I put it down. Probably the Marlitt but perhaps it was to work on something new and exciting. I haven't picked it up since because it really needs 30" scrollbars and my Ergo had a really hard time holding the weight (since it only holds scrolls from one side). I ended up getting a second floorstand so that I can work on the big projects. I got a K's Creations Stowaway Floor Frame with a conversion kit for the big scrolls. It works great and is able to hold my 30" scrolls on both sides.

I would like to try to work on Indian Summer Reflections 5 times a month.

I had the same experience as GrannyAnne... I thought I had more of this done! LOL....

Anyway, thanks for letting me join!

Stacy (who has 18 UFO's.... most of which are Chatelaines....)

Secret Garden or Mystery X


This is a Chatelaine design which I put to one side over a year ago. I got quite a shock when I unwrapped it because I thought I had done more of it than this. I put it away because I wanted to start another design by Martina Weber(Chatelaine). I think her designs are lovely but they are expensive if you use the silks rather than DMC. They are also large. One end is practically finished and one of the reasons I stopped was because I began to think the borders were a bit OTT. I am sure that with all your support I will finish it. At the momect I am planning on spending a couple of afternoons a week on this probably not starting till June.
