Due to work I couldn’t work on my stitching as much as I wanted (still spent 21 hours on it, for a total of 298). I worked on the bottom half, focussing on the red. A big part of the red in the bottom center is part of the flag. The difference between the flag [...]

This week I finished up the top half of the third page with tons of confetti. That gave me a bunch of flowers and (in the middle) the top point of the flag. I also started the layout of the bottom half. Most of that half will be taken up by the flag, flanked by [...]

I worked some more on the top half of the third page (page 5) this week. Mostly red with a bunch of flowers and the top of the flag post in the middle. I think I have done all ‘big’ colors now, the rest is just confetti. I spent 29.5 hours stitching this week, for [...]

This week was spend mostly preparing for the third page (page 5). I had a bunch of new colors to make, and thus had to buy more needles. This page is mostly red with a bit of the three and a flag with pole. I spend only 6 hours stitching on this, with a total [...]

I have been staying at my mom’s house for the past few weeks, and she has a sewing machine. This gave me the chance to finally prepare the linnen for the Permin Vierlande, and I couldn’t wait to start. I stitched on it for a few evenings. This will be my travel project, so I [...]

Well, I did it! I finished page 4 (the second chart page) in three weeks + 1 day. I spent 31.5 hours on it this week, for a total of 222 hours :D That’s about 14.400 stitches. I guess finishing page 1 really motivated me. Now it’s on to page 5 (of 56). I already [...]

Well, I worked hard on my Mon Seul Desir this week, 28 hours (190.5 total). I finished the upper right corner, which took me most of the week because of confetti. I laid out the foundation of the rest of the tree. Although it is hard to see, there are five colors in there already. [...]

I am really pleased with my progress this week. I was motivated from my page finish of last week. By using my new technique (follow a color for a long time, preferably at least half the page) and filling in I finished the top half of the tree on my second page (page 4). The [...]

Permin of Copenhagen has been in business since 1854 and are a Danish company. They sell a lot of designs as kits, but the designs that I love by Permin are their samplers. All the samplers they sell are reproductions of historical samplers in museum collections. The Vierlande sampler I bought a few weeks ago [...]

After my stitches were removed last monday I started stitching again. It is still a bit sore, but I’ll manage. I stitched for 23,5 hours this week, for a total 134 hours. And the best thing? I finished my first full page! To finish that one page (page 3 of the chart) took me 128.5 [...]
