Tuscan Gardens II is finished!

Late on Thursday evening I put the final stitch into Tuscan Gardens.

Thanks to everyone on this blog who has given me encouragement with this one. At one stage it was my final UFO but in the last twelve months two projects that were stitched on regularly have sadly become UFOs.  They both have a Christmas theme, which might be why. Anyway I have started stitching one of them again.  Progress pics next time.

Nearly there!

This weekend was spent stitching my Tuscan Gardens UFO. Here it is.

I might just go ahead and finish this now instead of waiting for another weekend away. I don't know.

Tuscan Gardens

Here is my latest progress picture of Tuscan Gardens. I've not really done much work on this since about Easter. I did, in the end, decide to frog most of the pale blue hill as it was stitched with thread that seemed to be of a different dye lot. I think that this is about a third complete now. The aim is to get it finished by the end of the year.

Tuscan Garden's progress

Here is my progress pic for this month. When I started this I decided to use up the left over floss from the other Tuscan Garden piece I have stitched. I think that the pale blue floss I used up from the first kit is of a different dye lot to the one given in the kit I'm stitching now, so there might need to be some frogging here at some stage. You can just about make out the difference in the photo.

Quick update

Here is my progress on Tuscan Gardens.


This time I'm doing the backstitch as I go along.

Tuscan Gardens ll

This weekend I unearthed my latest UFO. Micheal Powell's Tuscan Gardens ll. This is what it looked like before I started stitching it again.


And this is how it looked after an interrupted days stitching on Sunday. You can find out more about this at my main blog here.


This became a UFO about 18 months ago. I started stitching it after I finished Reflections and the got side tracked by other stitching projects. I now intend to stitch this on Sundays.
