Whine and WIPs Week One and Let's Do Wine

For the last week, I've been working on my first project for the Whine and WIPs SAL in Stitch Maynia, Angel of Compassion from HAED.


I've been working one hour a day on the piece each day before I do any other stitching. This is where I started back on July 1st:


And here is where I ended up seven hours of work later:


Yes, it was seven hours entirely of Kreinik for this piece, but I'm really happy with the progress I made on it! I don't feel nearly as intimidated by this piece as I did when I started it for Whine and WIPs, even if I'm not done with the first page yet. There's a lot more there than there was before! I will be starting another Whine and WIPs piece today and will share what a week of working on it will bring next week!

I also worked on Let's Do Wine by Ursula Michael yesterday:


This piece goes very quickly and makes me think I will enjoy a blackwork piece if and when I delve into that. Here is where I stopped yesterday:


I'm doing this on 32 Lugana in Sorbet from Picture This Plus using silks from Mo's Sale. I really enjoyed working on this piece and am looking forward to it coming back up on the rotation!

Until next time!

    Both WIPs are coming along nicely! Though you're only putting in an hour a day its better than no progress at all!

    That hour a day is really paying off! Love both of these. Let's Do Wine looks almost complete.
