<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">In the days before the internet (or more accurately before I was on the internet) finding needlework projects was a bit more challenging if there was no needlework store nearby. Most of my projects came from the Michael's type stores and were usually kits like Dimensions or Janlyn. I used to get lots of projects from thrift stores (usually invarious states of completion) or from relatives. And I certainly never knew there was anything but DMC/Sullivans kind of floss. Now I did use some different kinds of fibers when my Granny showed me actual needlepoint, but it was mostly yarn kind of stuff.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Then came the boon......the internet. Prior to that I had never heard of just about any of the designers that are out there. I had never heard or seen a Chatelaine (heck I could not even pronounce it) until I was watching the UTube (I think before flosstube was even there) and ran across a post by "Mrs. Milky Bar Kid" where she talked about different threads and different stitches and something called "A Chatelaine". My mind was absolutely taken over by the designs. It took me about a year to figure out how to order one; how to download it and actually be able to print the chart so I could use it. Then I had to figure out where to get the linen and all the fancy schmancy threads that it required. Of course I was unaware of Eurpean Cross Stitch and was not saavy enough to research it. So it took me a long time to get the thing "kitted". I will never do that again, that is for sure. I only found ECC when I started looking for the beads and I finally broke down and asked Mrs. Milky Bar where I could find them other than Fire Mountain Gems where I was going to have to order thousands more than I would use in my lifetime......so I did get the beads from them and some of the threads I had not been able to find. What an find that turned out to be.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span><u style="font-weight: bold;">Garden of London</u> by Chatelaine Designs<br />
<br />
This was the first Chatelaine Design I attempted. It is ginormous and cost a small fortune to kit up. It is one of those designs that came in sections. I actually started it at the beginning of 2015 with hopes of finishing it that year....oh what great plans I had.<br />
<br />
I also had this on this giant Q-snap that made it a little hard to handle. At the time I only had some wooden embroidery hoops and a couple of smallish scroll frames but nothing that came close to handling this size. Perhaps now that I have scroll rods that might fit it the handling would not be such an issue.<br />
<br />
It has every specialty stitch known to man and I really enjoyed learning them. It has threads I had never heard of and has textures and colors and is simply stunning.<br />
<br />
What began to throw me was the buildings. Then the back stitching. I am SO BAD at back stitching so the buildings look terrible. So it ends up being abandoned.<br />
<br />
I am thinking about removing everything outside the "garden" portion....that means all the buildings....I am just not doing well on this project but I do like it.<br />
<br />
So here I am in 2020.......sheesh<br />

<br />
I did the Old WorldVinyards Chatelaine for my sister and she only wanted the center portion for the space she had planned. This could be the same kind of thing.<br />
<br />

<div>
<br />
I must admit that given the size of the framing she chose I could probably have done the rest of the design. One day I will do the thing entirely. She really fell in love with the center portion and all the beading so that is what I did for her.<br />

I hope you enjoyed looking at my progress photos! I am currently working on MTM and am enjoying it very much, so we will see how much I can get stitched before one of the others calls to me for some stitching time. :)<br />

I have to admit I have totally fell in love with it - So wanted to share my progress with you all.</div>

Nearly complete Marrakech NightsHello to all! So glad to find this site. I have been looking at all of your posts for inspiration. I am a married forty something mother of 2 boys. We currently live in central Florida. I am Martina's first place raffle winner from last year so I have a lot of her designs to keep me busy. I am currently working on Pomarium, and Hanging Gardens of Semiramis. I will post photos as soon as I figure out how to. Just completed Marrakech Nights last night. Tila beads in center gave me a very hard time. May end up redoing them.<br />

I made my choice when Gardens of London was first released and 2016 saw me take the second step of actually purchasing the chart!<br />
<br />
Then the difficult task of choosing the fabric. With the help of Dawn from Crafty Kitten I decided on Cotton Clouds in a 32count Belfast linen. The true colour is a pale blue although it looks more grey-blue in some of the photos.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
A very small start!</div>

My rotation consists of a number of SALs and then one focus piece for the rest of the month. So I will stitch as much as I can this month and put it aside for a piece with a deadline next month.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in following my main blog and maybe joining one of my SALs or Blog Hops then you can find me here:<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I have found that no matter how many times I read the instructions i ALWAYS make some kind of mistake. I used two threads instead of one for the half stitches that are purple around the center. Of course, I had done the whole thing before I realized it, so I am going to leave it. Grrrrr.</span></span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br />

<br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />I also discovered that I am terrible at backstitching. I tried and tried and frogged and restitched, but I just cannot get the backstitching around the leaves just inside the orange border to look right. So, I made the executive decision to just leave it off. For the time being anyway. It feels like I am cheating somehow!<br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br />

</div>
I am also beading as I go even though it is hard to see in the photos. I am using batting, thanks to recommendations from other Chatelaine stitcher, as I roll it up on the frame. <br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: #c0a154; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><br />
I am enjoying this project so much, mistakes and all. I never cease to be amazed at these incredible designs. The use of variegated threads mades each stitcher's piece just a little bit different. With all the errors I make, I think my pieces may be a little overly unique! But I do love them.<br />

It has been a LONG (!!) time since I've posted, and even longer since I have posted regularly. I had trouble getting my pictures to upload and lost my post twice, so I'm going to post these now and will add more detail when I finish the pieces. The box itself is finished (Judy Odell's instructions are fantastic), and the rest will be done soon.<br />
<br />
I've also finished Hawaiian Garden and much of Venice since my last post. Hopefully it won't be another two years before I post those pictures, ha.Jill in CAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11788614439881822344noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948365161925719938.post-42927535869796723122016-06-15T11:23:00.000-04:002016-06-15T11:23:04.319-04:00Heritage Sampler update<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I think I've decided on my personalization but I have not yet decided on color so instead of starting that in the open column, I moved to the border on the right to start working my way towards the center panel.</div>

I am also working on Knot Garden and will be starting Mini Mandala 05 from the bundle I ordered severeal months ago when it was on sale. Have not decided on a fabric yet. Although I adore all the hand dyed fabrics, I am afraid they might detract from the beautiful design and colors so I usually end up sticking with antique white, ivory or champagne linen.</div>

I started this when it was Mystery X on January 1, 2007. I kept up with the parts until July or August when I packed up and moved from New Hampshire to Virginia. It spent years in the WIP box and was in and out of the rotation a number of times, but I decided this was the year it was going to be finished and stopped rotating for a while.<br />
