A Weekend of Stitching

It has been a good stitching weekend. Friday night, Allen had a couple of friends over for dinner and cartoon watching. I spent my evening watching The Venture Brothers with the guys and finished all of the charted stitching on Brotherly Love. All I need to do now is add the names and birthdays of my friend's little boys. I will go ahead and wait until the baby arrives to complete it.















After finishing Brotherly Love, it was on to put some time in on Mystery 9. I really want to catch up after falling a bit behind last month. I am still not sure it is possible as those silly artichokes take so long. I am totally done with the stitching for parts 8 and 9 on half of the piece and got a good start of part8 on a third corner. Hopefully, I will be almost done with that artichoke tonight.















And in exchange news, I received my Redwork Exchange from Ashleigh on Friday. She stitched a lovely quaker design and finished it as a photo album. I am thinking about using this as an album for pics of my stitching, particularly those things I give as gifts. Thanks again Ashleigh!!

Mystery 9 is looking so gorgeous! I may need to buy this chart before the mystery ends. :) Your Brotherly Love finish is SO cute -- I just love those Brittercup Designs, I need to stitch one!

Well done on Brotherly Love! And your Mystery IX is looking good, too. You're not the only one who had the artichokes take a long time. That seemed to be common.
