Working on my Village....

This week for Friday Frolics I picked up my The Village Alphabet by Cross My Heart Inc.  I was inspired to purchase the design after seeing the gorgeous work of my dear friend and fellow Frolicker - Brigitte -  a couple of years ago. If you follow the link you will see that she is just a few letters ahead of me (fifteen to be exact as I am yet to finish a letter!).

The last time I stitched on this was February last year ... and here is where I left it.

.... and here is my progress after an evening of stitching.....

I must say that stitching the brickwork is time consuming and requires quite a deal of concentration and the wielding of a highlighter on the pattern but it the effect is definitely worth it.

.... and hopefully, one day it will look like this.....

I plan to stitch on it some more this afternoon, so maybe there will be an "L" Happy Dance sometime in my near future?????

hugs, 

My update from last Friday

Hi friends,

last Friday I pulled out my Village ABC again (a decision by the Random Number Generator) and started the letter "F".

I couldn't stitch lot but the start is made.

Have a nice week, you all.

WIP #1 - Village Alphabet

Hello stitching friends,

this time my number generator came up with my #1, my oldest WIP. Well, now after stitching on it it has become a WIP, before it was a UFO for more than 16 years. It's a huge alphabet, the Village Alphabet by Cross My Heart, and I started with the letter F on Friday. Saturday was no stitching and yesterday I just added an hour's worth of stitching on it. This is what it looks like right now.

Tomorrow I am going to continue stitching on it until it's finished.
