A Finish and a Start

Yesterday morning (9/17/09) I finished Cirque de Carreaux...It took me two months (and a day) to complete it.



I have put my measuring tape and a quarter next to it to give you perspective on its size. It is completed on 32ct lugana evenweave over one in Wedgewood blue with DMC 4240 floss. The finished size is 5 5/8" x 7 5/8 inches. It took a little over two skeins of floss to complete (this includes the floss needed to fix frogging incidents!?!?! LOL)

I am now starting on a complementing piece to this...it is Cirque de Circles.



Another Ink Circles pattern (I LOVE Tracy's designs!!). It is also going to be done on 32ct lugana over one in the same blue and the same floss. I hope in the future to get the third piece (Cirque de Triangles) and display all three (and more if Tracy does more- Hey Tracy that's a hint!!!). When I originally got the fabric and floss for these two patterns I got enough to do them over two. Well, now that I decided to try my hand at over one, I've got more than enough to do these two plus Triangles plus any others that come out in this vein of design.


Below is the progress I made last evening and this morning...I have already had to frog on this one and I hope that is the last of that on this piece, although I had to frog early on in CdCx and it came out well so hopefully this one will follow along the same way.



Have a great weekend all and thanks again for checking out my blog...
