Linda's Turtle Trot SAL June Update

Hi Blogger Friends.  You can read about the SAL on Claudette's blog  BAP Attack.  I managed to work on all 12 again this month.  Actually the last 2 weeks and 7 of them in the last 2 days.  I also kept up with my SAL's.  However, I haven't started working on YOTA - Bothy Threads cut-thru North Pole House.   As I've said a hundred times, if I spent less time on this computer I could sure get a lot more stitching done.  (you can click on any pictures to enlarge)

1.  Cat Lessons - Lizzie Kate - did another phrase and the bird and branch


2.  The Old West - Little House Needleworks - the Alamo has a fence


3.  Autumn Alphabet - Lizzie Kate - did the letter E


4.  Blue Bird Floral - Diane Arthurs - started the light blue in the border


5.  6 Fat Men - Lizzie Kate - the snowman has a rabbit friend


6.  Fredericka - Carriage House Samplings - started the flower


7.  Happy Camper - Diane Arthurs - did the dark blue water and the bird


8.  Summer Season - Sandra Cozzolino - finished summer


9.  Mermaid Myrna - Diane Arthurs - did the next color in her tail


10.  Crabby All Year - Raise the Roof - outlined the March square


11.  Christmas Village - Prairie Schooler - added 4 more trees  (I need some help with this one.  I love her designs but she tends to use blah, drab colors.  I am thinking of doing the other houses in different colors.  Maybe blue, yellow, green, gold, etc.  Tell me what you think)



12.  January Sampler - Waxing Moon Designs - did another strand in the banner


Thanks for looking.    Linda

How great that you managed to stitch on all your Turtle Trot projects! They will all slowly trot to a finish some day! Good idea to stitch brighter colored houses on the PS Christmas Village. Summer Season and Happy Camper are my favorites this time!

Fabulous progress. I love Christmas Village - the colours will work once it is all done.

Lynn said...

I'm always amazed at how much you get accomplished!

If the computer didn't take you away from stitching, how could the rest of us keep up? ;)

Beautiful progress! Seeing all of your stitching makes me think about starting a rotation instead of trying to work on one project at a time.

Beautiful progress! I especially love Fredericka, for some reason. About the Christmas Village - you should use whatever colors you like! If you're not happy with the color choices on the chart, make it your own. :D

Grit said...

Wow, so wonderful sticking. All of them are so beautiful.

Wonderful work!

Gorgeous stitching, my dear - love the idea of colours for the houses - maybe blues and golds?

Brigitte said...

Ahhh, Linda, so many great progress pictures. And so many designs that I really love.
When I start a PS piece I always wonder if all these colours aren't too dark or too brown etc. And in the end I always love the result. But I think you should go with what you really like as a colour combo. Why not add some colour?

Mouse said...

ohhh well done on keeping up with everything :) re the PS ... try a floss toss against the colours you have and see if you like them .. may be a dusky blue and a red ?? love mouse xxxxx

Jackie said...

Wow Linda…all your progress look great.

Sally said...

Wow you have some fantastic pieces on the go. Lovely progress.

So much progress Linda, I am impressed ! I as usual seem to have lost my stitching bug, same last year so I think it may be seasonal lol. I am really enjoying looking at the progress your making on your pieces though.
