Joan - it isn't me..........ugh

This is wonderful! I'm still making my background, in-between packing up the house for a move to Grand Rapids, so a bit behind! but trying to catch all the classes and looking forward to making this!

hi I'm not sure if this is the right place to message you, but I just now received messages from Alex on what says is her instagram account. I do not have instagram. I asked if it was really you, as it is 7am California time! and this person said it really was and she/he had good news to share with me. I also had a friend's facebook messaging account hacked and this sounded the same!! So I'm going to delete you Alex as I do not believe it is really you!! It says it is account alex_anderson739

Beautiful!

After stay stitching, I decided to serge the edges, as it was still fraying. I think this will work.

At last, I caught up to start stitching. I can't work fast enough for a purple marker, and that's what some running stitches are.

Beautiful!

Hi, I’m having a lot of fun with this project. We’re visiting our kids and grandkids back east and this was the perfect project. Thank you Alex! Janet

I am enjoying the color play of the silk and the threads. I gathered up all my embroidery threads from the past and am incorporating them with the threads I ordered with my kit. Toni Johnson

Toni, How to you get your knots to be so big and bold? You look like this is not your first embroidery piece. Beautiful. HelenW

[Helen W.]

Joanne B. What thread are you using? I like how bold looking it is. Good contrast of color with the background too. HelenW

[Helen W.]

Carol G, Love the "C" initial. Beautiful stitching. HelenW

If all goes well this will be a new rectangular pillow for my bed. I found some felt "buttons" in my stash and decided to try out some placements inside and out of circles. See Christen Brown's photos for ideas of how to incorporate. Notice how I stored my thread- Thanks to Lilo Bowman for suggestion to use 18-count clear egg carton. Brilliant!!!
I searched "embroidered mandalas" on Pinterest and found lots of ideas for combining and expanding the simple stitches we are learning from Alex.

Peg, Love your background with the different width stripes. Very pretty. Great ideas for thread storage and to google embroidered mandalas. I will do that so I can get some variations. I am posting from North Idaho. Where are you from? HelenW

Hi, Noella here, I am working hard on my embroidery. My hubby calls it my “aquarium” and he is not wrong. My koi (fish) is just so calmly swimming through all the embroidery stitches. I am posting a picture but I can’t watch the Friday show “LIVE”. I have an appointment during that time slot.
‼️ I still have not received my stuff, ‼️but as I was looking through all the lovely works here, I see mine is not the only package held for ransom (lol) somewhere in the postal system.

Hopefully getting my third shot of vacine soon, this one a booster against the Omicron strain of Covid. When will it stop?

Open up the photo to see all the motifs and stitches done to date. I really love doing this!

Noella, in snowy icy Quebec, It is cold here in North Idaho too. 8 degrees this morning. Your silver lining in the Aquarium
project is that it is turning out fabulous. Just think if the postal system had not ransomed your silk fabric, your Koi fish would
not be swimming in your beautiful stitches. Love how you are just playing add on, and the bubble circles give you a great
place to add more stitches that Alex is teaching. So much fun. HelenW
