The Cross-Stitch Progresses

[smallhobbit]

But first the cherry tree, as I drew for SM's birthday card:



The bookmark is coming along very nicely:



And the Klimt has benefitted from having some larger blocks of colour, rather than lots of different single stitches:

Well done! The garden and the bookmark are coming along and kudos on the drawing, too!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. The bookmark is heading towards being completed and I'm enjoying the garden - sewing the sunflower was very satisfying.

Cute little tree!

Looks like the bookmark is nearly finished. I love that there's a sunflower now on the Klimt. So pretty!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you!

Yes, I'm hoping to finish the bookmark by the end of next month. There are a number of sunflowers on the Klimt - I was pleased to have sewn the first one, it grew quickly.

Are you going to use your bookmark when it's finished or display it?

[smallhobbit]

This one I'm planning on using.

[badly_knitted]

It will enhance any book ;)

The blossoms on the cherry tree look rather pretty ^__^

I'll say the bookmark is 'coming along very nicely' - that's so lovely. And the Klimt too - it has such a dynamic feel to it. I mean, it feels like the plants are in motion in a breeze ^__^

Thank you. I've been very pleased with the way the bookmark is looking. I'm glad you like the Klimt; sometimes I get too close to appreciate what it looks like.

Nice.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you.

I love hand drawn cards - that's lovely.

The bookmark is coming along beautifully. And the Klimt is going to be really gorgeous, wow.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much.

I'm pleased with the bookmark. The Klimt should look good when it's finished - I'm estimating it will take about three years to do!

I really like the cherry tree!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much!

The Klimt one looks very nice. I'm a fan of that sunflower.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. There are a number of sunflowers (It is the Sunflower Garden!) and I shall shortly be starting to stitch the second one. There's something very satisfying about completing a sunflower.

So beautiful and colourful! The drawing is delicate and pretty. :]

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much :)

Great to see progress. The sunflower is particularly striking. And I do like your sketch:-)

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. I'm delighted you like my sketch. I was really pleased with the sunflower.
