I was still on a goldwork kick. I completed four small pieces, two of which are original pieces: the pineapple and the golden snitch. These have both been given as birthday gifts to friends.
Looking at the image below, I'm realizing that I never shared my blue bee on this blog. This little bug is from a kit by Georgina Bellamy aka That Embroidery Girl.
My other finish is Mermaid of the Deep by Mirabilia that I started at the end of 2018. I'm hoping to get it framed next year to give to my sister.
This one is so small I almost forgot it.
Last and definitely not least, is my phase 1 piece Bouquet from the Heart of Japan. I was so happy when I completed this piece.
Travelling meant that Bramble and the Rose received some attention. I'm so close to reaching the bottom corner. I normally stitch on this piece in the last few hours of the year but I'm not sure if I will do that. I think I'd rather prepare the new pieces I plan on starting on January 1st.
In the last few days, I've been putting in loads of time on two of my WIPs: Hedebo Starburst and Tracery Dragons. There is still a little bit of work to on the weaving in the center of the hedebo piece before I move onto the edge, there is also all the back stitching on tracery dragons left to do. But both pieces are very close to being finished.

Beautiful stitching! Congratulations on the finishes AND almost finished.
ReplyDeleteYou've done some really lovely work this past year!
ReplyDeleteYou made some beautiful projects this year. The Snitch is one of my favourites because I enjoyed seeing how you made it and the thought processes behind the design.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your 2020 stitching. Your posts are always so informative.
You have so many beautiful and unique projects. You're always inspiring to want and try new stuff (I really should one of these days!). Great to see you got the Mermaids finished!
