Rachel S update--Summer Ball

This is my update on Summer Ball, by Sandy Littlejohns from Cross Stitch Collection. This has been a UFO for 5 and a half years. I am determined to make real progress this year. I worked on this for a week. When I picked up on Saturday, the men on the right just had shells of heads, and the center guy of the group wasn't there. I also filled in some more of the wall, and before I put this down, worked on the blue dress girl's dress. My plan is to do each page as a section instead of working from center out, because I keep putting this down from intimidation.

UFOs completed!

I am probably not doing this right, but these are the UFOs I have finished this month. 2 more and I get to start a new project--woo hoo!

This is "Spring is Sprung," by Brightneedle. I had so few stitches in it that I couldn't figure out how to orient the fabric, so started over.

I am going to make this into a scissor fob.


This is "You Lucky Dog" by Just Another Button Company. It's been a UFO since 2008, I think. I need to put the buttons on, but the stitching is done.

This will be a banner for a good friend.

This is a SNN kit from 2006, I did very little of it before putting it aside, because I don't like the threads they used.

Going to another friend as a gift.
