Two More Pages Completed

 Ink Circles - Modestly Sized Red Ship of Life.  10 of 12 pages completed.  I would really like to power through this, but there are other things I should be doing.  But I'm pleased to have finished two more pages this time.

Finish #2 for 2021

Finish #2 for 2021. A Stitcher's Hands - Beloved.  Done on Stormy Night lugana, 25 count, 1 over 1, using Anchor black ( 403 ).  It's a printed on one side mottled gray fabric.  It was my first time using Anchor black to see of the coverage was better, even on 25 count, and it was.  I started this in March of 2018, and last picked it up in June of 2020.  Finished design area measures 7 1/4 wide by 18 3/4 high.  It used 6 skeins of Anchor floss.  I could have added cherub bow strings, but they would never have been a straight line... so I didn't.  Below is where it was when I picked it back up. 
 

I added the text at the bottom to say - You Had My Heart - on the finished version.  

Finally a finish for 2021...

A Finish!  Ink Circles - Big Red Ship of Life.  Used 9 skeins of dmc 938 on 28 count China Pearl jobelan, one over one.  It finished at 12 x 14 inches.  A bit confusing as this was the first one, the biggest of the three patterns.  It's 16 pages, I had 8 done, and parts of the other 8 done.  So I filled in and finished.  It got dated 2014, I had high hopes at that time.  There are a few changes randomly.  I looked for a random place to add the year 2021, but nothing that was quick and easy, and still hidden. Below is where it was when I picked it back up.  It is the first finish for 2021.  Which is sad...
 

Below is the Modestly Size Ship.  12 pages on that one, 8 completed.  Since I have been stitching this one, it's a bit weird to suddenly pop up with the other pattern as a finish, so I am adding this photo.

This One....

 

Courtney Collection - Pelican ( Mirrored ). This is 2 skeins of dmc used.  I completed 3 more pages, 6 pages total.  Then I wildly decided to complete the border outline.  Hahaha....  And it actually came out correct on the first try.  There are 20 pages total, and these are the easy pages.  Below is what it looked like when I picked it back up again. 

This was July 2020.  Below is the not mirrored version that I completed.  It took 7 skeins of dmc floss.  Using same fabric and floss DMC 938 and 28 count PTP Doubloon lugana, one over one.

It's a little over 12 inches wide and 10 inches tall.  But I am still trying to do PAGES each time, and a SKEIN of floss each time.  I have so many things, with so many pages.  But it is a dent each time.  This is gonna get tossed back and something else will get pulled.

Here. There. And everywhere...

Ink Circles = Modestly Sized Red Ship.  Two more pages completed.  Used almost 4 skeins of dmc at this point.  Below is what it looked like when I picked it back up.  8 of 12 pages completed.  And the border lines up on that left side,- I checked. 

I wanted to break up doing that top border all at once. 

Blackbird Designs - Our Lasting Friendship.  My new start.  I got the border and the box done.  Called for fancy flosses on 28 count PTP Legacy, one over one.  When the flosses arrived - Caramel and Straw Hat look exactly alike.  I don't mean they are close, I mean - exactly.  So I reordered those two again from a different vendor. 
 

Band Sampler - Historical Sampler Company (I think).  This is just an odd one for me, but it's is different from the other things I stitch.  Below is what it looked like when I picked it back up again. I was just trying to get rows from side to side.  But I also only got a couple of days before I'm wanting to move on.  And oh, that outside border is gonna be miserable to do.

More Completed Pages...

Modern Folk Embroidery - Fruits of Plenty.  MFESAL 2021.   The 3rd block completed, and I have used one skein of each of the two colors at this point. 

Courtney Collection, Beasties (Mirrored).  Filled in, and actually completed areas.  Four of the nine pages completed.  I still have the frog hanging from the bird's beak or it would have been another page done.  There is a bird with a snake on the right side yet, plus then the top row three pages. There still is a whole camel to stitch yet. 

This was where is what when I picked it back up.  It only got two days of stitching this time.  I have some other things I need to do.

Completing Pages...

Ink Circles - Forests of Sumatra.  A random pull from the already started pile.  This was from 2019, a Colour and Cotton 32 count lugana  - no name.  It's silk Gloriana #062 cranberry, one over one.  The pattern is 9 pages total - and this round I completed 3 pages, which is just fine by me.  And yeah, the red on a smoke gray fabric is a bit odd.  Below is a photo of what it looked like when I picked it back up with only the bottom right page complete.  Now it is 4 of 9 pages completed. 

I am denting pages off of patterns each time.  This pattern when completed will fit under a single sheet of paper.  The stitch count says it should end up 9.4 by 6.75 inches when completed.  Back in the pile it goes.  Completing 3 pages in 5 days is progress.
