Just Nan Stitch-along January Update



This is my progress on Motif Mystique! The butterfly motifs in the middle of the top band are not done yet. There were lots of color changes and some half stitches, will get back to that.

I love the design of this sampler, the way repetition and variety make a pleasing rhythm to the whole. At first I thought I wanted to do Song of the Needle and I almost changed my mind and started that one after doing band one of this but now I'm really enjoying Motif Mystique.

  3. Thank you Zeb and Aurelia for your help! I had been trying to publish from my phone, guess that was a bad idea. I'm at a computer now and it seems to have worked. I didn't set up a picasa account first though. I am going to check from another computer and if I don't see the picture I'll know that is the reason.

  8. I just joined the JN SAL and am new to blogging - can't figure out either how to add the badge! Looks like you're off to a great start, look forward to seeing how you progress. Have you seen her Reindeer Humbug and Little Princess?

    1. Lisa Bobo- there is a comment by Aurelia Eglantine in the first post in this blog where she gives a link that explains how to do a "sidebar" in the blog which is where te badge goes. I haven't had time to figure it out yet. Maybe the link would be helpful to you?

      I haven't seen "little princess" yet, will look for that.
