Really beautiful! Your stitching is so pretty and I see some new stitches I haven't attempted-thanks for the inspiration.

This piece is beautiful - I'd like to see a few close-ups of circles when they're completed.

[Becky A.]

Love the vines running between the circles!

[Jo Anne]

I’m so enjoying this project. I love having some handwork to do in the evenings and this fits the bill perfectly.

[Carole B.]

I was able to work on more circles over the weekend and now have 15 done-halfway! These are a few of my favorites. Have learned many new stitches in the process including the Trellis stitch which is a new favorite!

I wasn’t even going to start this but for some reason I thought why not. I used a piece of fusion fabric and I really like the background. I am having so much fun. I’m hooked.

[Helen W.]

Chris, Your stitching is beautiful too. Love that first circle. Excellent selection of stitches that look good together. HelenW

Didn't get to work on this too much in the last 2 weeks, but I really like how it's coming out so fair. Still a long way to go. Everyone's work is just beautiful. Chris Clar

Ladies, I am so impressed with all the embroidery class pictures. I've been working hard also, along with celebrating Christmas with family. Wishing everyone a wonderful 2022.

Karla, What a precious picture of you grand daughter. She looks so comfortable sitting a the sewing machine. Bet she is
hooked already. HelenW

Stopping was hard, but I think I’m done! I’ve ironed it to a piece of batting and done some quilting, but it doesn’t really show. Once I’ve ordered more silk, it will grow up to be a pillow. I’m really enjoying seeing all the different interpretations. This version is random, but some of you have introduced more control into your design. All are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Kathi B, Congratulations for being first done, with an excellent design, excellent stitching, and buying more silk. For all that
work I found you a 1st place ribbon!!! Job well done. HelenW

Carole B, One inch circles. It is like making a miniature quilt. What are the names of your stitches on the one that looks
like a sunflower edge? Is your plan to do all circles? You mention an Easter theme. Happy New Year tomorrow. HelenW

Helen--It's amazing how much detail you can fit into 1 inch! The stitch on the one you asked about it the Woven Picot stitch. It's done with odd number spokes (3-5-7). This was the first time I've done it with 5. Only the base of the pedal is attached to the background. I've tried to update the captions on my photos to say what stitches I used. Not sure if it took, but will keep on trying. Happy New Year to you, too!

ETA: Guess you are not able to edit posts after a certain period of time. Bummer.

This project has really inspired me. I have made good progress. I have also decided I “NEED” some additional threads. Let me tell you they add up.

Today I was able to add 4 more of my 1 inch circles. This was really enjoyable, as I used several new-to-me stitches with the help of Sue Spargo’s Creative Stitching book. I want to know who comes up with these stitches!
