Dorothy's Garden, Stitching, Tudor Rose Sampler Guild / June 3, 2009 by Michelle / 22 Comments

Dorothys Garden Close 060309

So remember I said that we were supposed to have a check-in on our MAGIC projects at the guild meeting last night? Well, I picked up my piece over the weekend and made a surprising amount of progress. At least, I surprised myself.

Since last we left off on progress pics for this piece, I had finished up the roof and begun that flower basket. Over the weekend I finished up the flower basket and then started on the alphabet. I love how it’s looking.

There is really so much more to go on this piece, but I am glad I made a little progress on it. And just for bringing my piece in for the check-in, I got a pack of John James needles for my trouble. And apparently, if you look at this from far away it looks like Shrek or something. You may have to squint. Guess I’ll have to fill in the house so that the roof no longer appears to be legs. Oh, and just in case you’re wondering, since it’s been so long since I worked on this…it is Dorothy’s Garden by A Stitcher’s Hands. I am stitching it over one on 32ct. unknown linen with DMC and AVAS. I started this in 2004, which is why I decided to offer it up to be my MAGIC piece for the guild this year. I hope I finish it.

It is lovely though, I have to admit.

I am grateful for chocolate…because it’s been that kind of day.

    That’s very pretty. Love the roses! I have no idea how this is meant to develop, so I’ll be curious to see more of it – and your stitching is just so beautiful!

    Oh, Dot’s Garden is so beautiful. Those colors are great and I love all the motifs! I hope you finish it too, because you won’t be disappointed, but I sure know what it feels like to have something as a WIP for years, lol!

    Sorry you’re having a bad day, but hopefully chocolate will cure all ills. Your Dorothy’s Garden is really drop-dead gorgeous. I love your progress and how this is coming out. I’ve had this in my stash and figured I’d never do it, but seeing is being stitched is really an inspiration. I can’t wait to see more of your progress.

    Maybe if I squinted a lot after an allergy-induced bout of sneezing, and I didn’t have my glasses on … but, no. No, no Shrek there. But what a beautiful project!!!
