Block Two Progress

Here's my latest progress on Block 2 of CaHRH (Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow, for those who are wondering what the heck I'm talking about). :)

CaHRH progress as of 2/9/10

I'm really hoping to get this block finished up soon.  There's a lot of stitching in it, so it seems to be taking forever!  Well, nothing else going on here.... Just hanging out with the kids.  Write soon!

I love those peacocks! Are they on guard? ;-) It's a lovely block.

Deb said...

I can't believe how quickly you're zipping through these blocks! I really love watching your progress on this piece. It is beautiful, but it looks like it's really so stitch-intensive!

Berit said...

If you asked me what this block's about, I'd say "Peacocks going ice skating in front of a Russian Palace". lol :D

Do you stitch on the hoop, or is it just for show for the photograph?

Kellie said...

Wow! You are almost finished with this block. It won't be long until this piece will be hitting that new frame. :) I was wondering the same as Berit...if you were stitching on the hoop or if it was for the photo? I remember you saying that you usually stitch in hand. This would be a really big piece to do in hand. Are you debating your next project yet? :)

Nicole said...

Berit and Kellie,

No, I don't stitch with a hoop. I stole the idea from Alma Allen (Blackbird Designs). :)

Margaret said...

It's looking great, Nicole! You're almost done with this one! It seems there's a lot of stitching in quite a few of these blocks. But they're so worth it!!

Nicole,
Your stitching is always so beautiful in every stage. I imagine your walls are covered with needlework beauties?! Do you frame all at once or pile them up? LOL

CaHRH is coming along nicely! I am relatively new to your blog and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it. You have beautiful stitching! I look forward to more progress pics!

Lennu said...

It's such a beautiful block! Great colours.

Annemarie said...

It looks like you got most of the stitching done for this block, Nicole. Another beauty!

Giovanna said...

Very inspiring, and I agree, lots of stitching on this one: I'm *almost* done with the snow, then there's still that huge building!

Katrina said...

It really is gorgeous and you are moving right along on it.

Katrina said...

It really is a gorgeous piece. I don't think the picture on the cover does it justice. I am so enjoying watching your progress on it.

Michelle said...

Wow, what an intricate block!! Do you usually stitch with a hoop? I haven't stitched with a hoop in a long time...but I hate stitching in hand on a HUGE piece. Lovely progress!

Michelle said...

Oops, just saw your answer about the hoop - good idea!

Siobhan said...

Nicole, fantastic progress!! You're really zipping along. YGG!
