Three WIPs and a (tiny!) Finish

Been busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest here lately. DH and I moved to Reno and I started a new job and things have been really, really hectic. I have managed to get in some stitching time here and there, but not enough progress has been made to suit me. I *HAVE*, however, kept to stitching things in my workbox that's already been started and not started anything else. Yay me!


At any rate, here's what I have so far:


WIP #1:

Design: A La Belle Etoile SAL

Designer: The Thread Basket with C Mon Mode


Fabric: 28 count silk and linen in natural by Wichelt

Fibers: Crescent Colours Belle Soie silk in Elegant Eggplant, Ivy League, Sweet Lavender, and Tumbleweed. Gumnut Yarns Stars silk floss in #991 ecru. Kreinik Very Fine (#4) Braid in 001 Silver.


Accouterments: Jolee's Jewels - Crystallized Swarovski Elements in Purple Violet 4 mm bicone, Crystal Moonlight 4 mm bicone, 20 MM Crystal Aurora Borealis star and 16 mm - Crystal Aurora Borealis moon.














WIP#2:

Design: Sew Red


Designer: iStitch Designs


Fabric: 28 count linen in Vintage by Fleur de Luce Hand Dyeds


Fibers: Au Ver a Soie Soie d' Alger 7-strand silk floss in 2926. Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid in PB03 Gold.





WIP#3:


Design: Spring Time


Designer: Citrouille's Designs


Fabric: 34 count linen in Oaten Scone by Access Commodities


Fiber: Gloriana Threads silk floss in #188 Northern Lights







And finally, the (tiny!) finish:


Design: L'éventail de M-A


Designer: Chez Elisa


Fabric: 28 count Glasgow linen


Fibers: Crescent Colours Belle Soie silk in Shepherd's Pasture. Gumnut Yarns Stars silk floss in #991 ecru. Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid in PB03 Gold.


Accouterments : Fleur de Lis frame by Hobby Lobby #6730261.





Well, that's all for me for now. Chicken is frying in the pan and I need to attend to that. Hope everyone is having a great week! :)

Nice progress on all of your pieces. Your finish is very nice. Wow, what a change of pace from Vegas to Reno. I haven't been to Reno in years. There used to be a very nice LNS there in Sparks.I want to say it was/is called A Stitch In Time. Windy Moon Quilts is a nice store for fabric if you sew/finish your pieces.Good luck on your new adventure.

Beautiful work! Where can I get the A Belle Et Toile(hope I spelled that right) pattern? I saw it on Edgar's blog as well and I just love it, but didn't have much luck when I searched for it. You can email me at angelrose1108 at yahoo. com. Thanks so much for your help!

Dear Tracey,


The A La Belle Etoile SAL was a limited time SAL during the Christmas 2011 holidays. I do not think it is available any longer, however, you can email Valerie at the Threadbasket at valerie@thethreadbasket.com to verify this.


HTH! :)
