I am doing a little "happy dance" here today as I have just finished stitching Angelina. Some of you have asked me who the designer is for this lovely blackwork project and it is Ilse Altherr. I love her blackwork designs. I have a few others in my stash that one of these days I will have the time to stitch, at least I hope so (grinning).
.
I now have a long long list of projects to work on, but I think that I will start working on Hollyhock House stitch-along. We have had a few lessons so far and I have not yet started working on it, not even put the fabric on stretcher bars :-(
.
I also need to take one of my stitched project and work on doing a bit of finishing. Angelina is going to the framer so at least she is not adding to my finishing pile. When I think of the times when I was completely up-to-date with my finishing. Times do change, don't they?
.
Now need to clean up a bit around myself, put my supplies away and take out what I need for the next project.
.
It is a nice day today, so will now go out and take a bit of sunshine. That will do me a world of good.

Angelina is beautiful! What a wonderful designer you found. Congratulations on the finish!
This has turned out delightfully and is really lovely, well done for the speedy finish on her
Very charming, Pierrette. Your chosen colors are perfect; the stitches, though intricate, are not busy, and create a very effective design. Anxious to see it framed.
Looks lovely. About how many hours do you stitch a day?
What a darling design! And beautifully stitched, as usual! Congratulations on a great finish!
Congratulations on your finish! It looks great.

Thanks, Laura. Ilse Altherr is one of my favorite blackwork designer.

Hi Terry,
I find that blackwork is relatively quick to stitch compared to other techniques, perhaps it is because I enjoy it a lot.

Thanks. All the instructions were there and I just followed them. I don't think that I am that good at picking up the right stitches. Could be lack of practice, but ......

Beth,
How many hours do I stitch in a day? That is a difficult question for me to answer as it really depends on how good or how poorly I am feeling that day. It can be as little as one hour and as many as 4 or 5 hours, but lately I have not done much stitching :-(

Cyn,
I know how it is when you don't read blogs for a little while. My list of blogs that I follow is quite extensive and whenever I get behind it takes me a while to catch up too :-)

There is only one person that I know who is selling this design.
Please contact me at LovetoStitch99@comcast.net and I will give your email to that person and she can contact you.
