Manifesto and Elizabeth Sheffield Progress

I outlined the top part of the lady in red and then I need to move her on the Q Snaps so I thought, I don't want to do that right now so I will get Elizabeth Sheffield out. I did that and it is on my Ultimate Stitching Frame and wow it is so much nicer stitching on that, so I have been working on my little house and this tree that is over one. I got the house done last week and worked on the tree yesterday before we left on our scooters and rode over to get supplies at Lowe's and went and had pizza. I hope to get more done. I need to also do more background stitching on Manifesto and also outline the bottom part of the lady in red too.

Elizabeth Sheffield work in progress with Wooden Treasures Ultimate Stitching Frame and Ultimate Tabletop Stand

Wooden Treasures stitching frame and tabletop stand.www.woodentreasures.info with Elizabeth Sheffield Sampler work in progress.

I have been stitching on Manifesto by the Scarlet Letter but it is time I get something done on Elizabeth Sheffield so I got her out yesterday and am so enjoying stitching her on my tabletop stand. I can actually see a finish with this one eventually so I want to work on this in an informal rotation with Manifesto.  I love how my frame holds the fabric so tight all across the stitching area and this stand is so nice and adjusts to the perfect position for me to stitch.  No more trying to hold my project on q snaps and I can stitch two handed too.  It goes so much faster now!

My Manifesto Progress This Week

This is my progress for the week. I stitched mostly blue background around the pineapple and finally finished this second shade of blue. I started the lighter shade of blue next, but wanted a break from background stitching so I started the face of the lady in red last night and got it done with a bit of a facelift and a nose job. I too tweezed her eyebrows a little bit and this is the beginning of my lady in red. I hope you like her so far.

The Manifesto Work in Progress and Largest Ultimate Frame

 I have been working on my Manifesto by the Scarlet Letter and here is my progress on this.  I love this project and have a hard time putting it down.   I am stitching this on 40 ct Linen with DMC threads.

Here is the largest Ultimate Stitching Frame made for a special lady that Wooden Treasures has  just finished.   It is made to hold 56 inches of fabric for a special project.  My husband Jerry is Wooden Treasures at www.woodentreasures.info and he makes frames, stands and anything made of wood for needleworkers.   The frames can be made in any size that would fit your stitching needs.   

The Manifesto by The Scarlet Letter WIP 4-7-13

I just can't seem to put The Manifesto down these days and I have a bit of progress on it.  I haive been going down the left side but wanted to branch out a little to the beautiful knot garden.  Jerry is going to eventually build me a frame for this project but he has orders to fill first so right now this is on a Q Snap.  This is a larger project so it requires a bigger frame or one that he is going to attempt for me that will have a working area that I can manage but have the excess fabric rolled and out of the way.  I will get a prototype of that when he sees how it might work out.  I hope to get more stitched on this.

Ultimate Table Top Stand by Wooden Treasures

This is really the Ultimate Table Top stand for stitching and it is adjustable.  It works on a table top or there is an attachment that can be purchased to convert it to a lap stand.  You can go to www.mywoodentreasures.blogspot.com and also www.woodentreasures.info to see everything. My husband makes and sells these frames and stands and he also has an email address at mywoodentreasures@live.com

Manifesto WIP

Here is my work in progress on The Manifesto by The Scarlet Letter.   I just love this project and I have learned how to stitch after all of these years using both hands with my work mounted on a frame and stand.  It goes so much faster and no more going from front to back with my stab method of stitching.  I have tried stitching in hand but didn't like how my tension looked.  Thank you Nicola Parkman for showing me how to do it this way as it goes so much faster.   This is a bap and if I were ever to want to stitch faster, this is the one.  It is really a large but really beautiful project and it has everything I love on it.   I am in a couple of SAL's and hope to have more on this as well as Elizabeth Sheffield to show soon.
