The Encounter Update

Last week:


Now:



Hi everyone!
My mother have her summer vacation now and she has spent lot of time whit her grandson, so I had lot of my own time this week. And what did I do? I stitched of course! So I'm very satisfied to my work this time. So far I only stitch this one project - no other WIPs - so that means I can consenrate only my HAED and that's why I progerss quite fast.

But sometimes it's quite boring to do allways same WIP. SO - I bought 2 new HAED - Magic Eavning and City of Swords! But - which one I choose to start first? (I don't want to do them both now, two WIPs is enough for me). All opinions are most welcome!

Your progress is wonderful! I recommend you starting City of Swords. Magic Evening is one of my favorites too (in my stash) so I could start that next time (no way, starting another WIP, I would be crazy!) or we could consider it a SAL LOL

Wow, you got a lot done. Thank goodness for grandmothers!
That is a really hard choice. Maybe Magic Evening. It doesn't have a lot of blue like the Encounter you are working on right now. You might get tired of blue if you do City of Swords. Tough decision.

Hi Ingrid!
I would say magic evening... Jane is right, maybe you will be tired of blue if you start City of sword... But it's a lovely design, City of Wands is on my wish list ;P

What a beautiful!! The detail is amazing! I love your progress, and always look forward to seeing your wip. And, my choice is Magic Evening. It's my favorites too! :)

Lisa said...

Lovely work! My suggestion is City of Swords, though previous comments have a point about the blue. That's up to you, though :)

Wendy said...

That is a great progress!

I like both the designs. I wouldn't know what to choose.

Great progress!

Maxine said...

Love the progress you've made as for the new designs I love them both so will watch with interest which one you pick :)

Oh you did so much on this and you can really see the castle now! Great job!

As for which design to choose, I would go for City of Swords but Magic Evening is beautiful too and whichever one you decide will definitely keep you very busy!

I have a soft spot for Magic Evening(I have it in my stash) but I bet City of Swords would be gorgeous too.

I don't think you can go wrong either way :)
