Chatelaine's Egypt Garden

First photo. Stitched center portion entirely over one using recommended threads. 32 ct antique white linen.

Chatelaine Designs' Egypt Garden - 2nd pic

Beads look a bit squished, but actually look straight when the fabric is stretched. Now on to the duckies!

Teresa Wentzler's English Garden Sampler

Stitched on 28 ct. lugana in Nostalgia by Sugar Maple Fabrics. I've used the cross every tenth stitch on the inner border method to give me a guide for placement of stitches in the interior. This WIP has been languishing since April 2004.

Chatelaine Designs' Misty Morning Vineyard (former Mystery IV)

Stitched on 32 ct ice blue Belfast linen. I'm not very far along. This is my progress as of April 2004. I've not picked it up since.

Chatelaine's Celtic Quilt A Part 1

Started 3/23/05 on 32 ct Silkweaver Solo on belfast linen. I've converted the NPI's to Eterna silks. The fabric is actually a bit lighter than this pic.

Chatelaine's Mystery VIII

Completed through part 3. Stitched on 32 ct cobblestone belfast linen. No changes to fibers.

Chatelaine's Mini Mystery J part 1a

The pic just doesn't do the sparkly flowers justice! They change color and really shimmer! I subbed Eterna minitwists for the NPIs. Otherwise stitched as designed.

This is a close up of the corner so you can see the cool specialty stitches.

Chatelaine's Midi Mystery I part 1

Stitched on 32 ct Silkweaver solo that is a lightly mottled deep teal blue. Substituted Eterna minitwists for the NPI silks. Everything else as designed.

Mini Mystery J parts 1a&b

I'm really enjoying the colors of this Chatelaine mystery. I have subbed Eterna silks for the NPIs. Otherwise stitched as designed.

Midi Mystery I part 2

I think this is my favorite Chatelaine mystery project EVER! I'm so glad I chose this fabric- the fibers just GLOW!

Midi Mystery I part 2 corner

So you can see the pretty flowers! I love how they've turned out. NPIs have been converted to Eterna silks.

Mystery VIII almost part 5

Just have to finish the baskets. I'm not going to back stitch them as I think they look more realistic as is.

Chatelaine's Medieval Town Mandala - part 1

Stitched on 32ct Oyster belfast by Country Stitch. Subbed Eterna silks for the NPI silks. All beading complete.

Chatelaine's Midi Mystery I - almost part 3
