March IHSW

My IHSW wasn't very productive. =/ I am, however, almost done with Ornate Butterfly! I had done pretty much all of the progress on this before IHSW, but I needed to update the photos anyway.


I've finished all the regular and half stitches and now it's down to all the back stitches, couching, and knots. I think it looks amazing and I already have the frame bought! Going to have to be sure I pack it up carefully for delivery, since it is a gift for a dear friend. <3 I hope she likes it as much as I think she will.

I've also started on Woman with Bouquet, mostly because I just couldn't help myself! I got the fairly large EZStitch kit with all the different size bars and I was itching to make use of it. I haven't made much progress on her yet, though. Just the first bit of a flower and her sleeve.


I also grabbed everything I need for my YRP sprite stitch. Once I finish up Ornate Butterfly, I'll probably juggle Bouquet and YRP. How was everyone else's IHSW? :D
