First things first...I got mail!!!
Marjorie stitched for me a most lovely bookmark. I'm thrilled and loving it. I replaced immediately my old paper bookmark with the new one:
Here is what I sent to Marjorie. Hopefully she'll likes it too. The bookmark is called "Jaipur". Although that is an Indian word and the design is clearly Indian orientated, it's designed and charted by an Australian company (Sempco).
I finished another page of "Coming to Water" - 3 more pages to go
And lastly....I started a new travel project: "Le Grand Marquoir" by Isabelle Haccourt Vaultier. This is a free design with parts released every 2 months.
Recently I enjoy stitching over one quite a bit, and so I started this project over one on 25ct Lugana. The fabric is from Country Stitch and the color is called ToiToi.
The fibers are Threadworx "Stepping Stone", DMC Black and Rainbow Gallerie Petite braid.

Wow Gabi. Everything is just gorgeous. Love the bookmark and (yay!!) for completing another page of Coming to Water. I can't wait to see that one framed. As for Le Grand Marquoir... it's beautiful and there is even a touch of gold in it. It's going to be stunning!
Both bookmarks look fantastic. I remember having stitched the one with the bands some time ago for an exchnage, too.
Your WIPs look very good.
Your Coming to Water piece is absolutely gorgeous!
Okay try again. I love the bookmarks and your Coming to Water is simply stunning. Great job, you can see some light at the end of the tunnel. Yeah. Also love your new project. I love a deep red with black. Whew hew.
The bookmarks, both of them, are really pretty. Great work by you both!
Coming to water is awesome. Not much more to a finish for this one. And your "travel" piece is beautiful with the colors you are using.

Gabi, your Coming to the Water is just beautiful!! Thank you for the kind words about my HAED project. I think that this is something that I'm just going to have to throw caution to the wind and jump in with both feet. Once I pick a fabric and get it started I can show everyone my start. Have a good weekend!

You are kickin' some stitched bee-hind, Girl! I have really been enjoying watching your progress on this piece. Keep up the good work.
Love the bookmarks and Coming to water is absolutely beautiful!
Very nice!
Happy blogoversary!
OH MY LANDS! Coming to Water is amazing!
I see what you mean with the dense amount of stitching. My Scarlett one I think I will use a 18 ct aida.
Is this 18 ct or the 1/1 25 ct?
