No progress here. I'm still putting in crazy long hours at work and when I have fee time, I'm just too tired to stitch on FP (or anything else).

Hello

hope you are all well

I have picked up my fp again, thanks Mis the little bee is so cute. I can only do a few stitches in the evening but it is getting summer here now and stays light much later.

I agree with Jen about your time tracker.

Erin are you back stitching fp yet.

I have also decided to try a new challenge and when I need a break from fp I have got the Chateleine Fairy Flower Garden , it is so pretty but I have never stitched...

Mis,
I don't know if I posted yet about your lovely bee. He is fabulous. I do enjoy watching the turtle crawl along in your sig though, think I'll miss him when you finally do finish. ;)

Thanks I'm a very "streaky" stitcher so I'll most likely stick with FP for a while. And if I post about it enough, I know I'll "hook" some people back in

Hello everyone,

I think i have stitched half a lily petal since my last message, just never enough time. R seeing you stitching FP again is giving me inspiration. I think i will stitch a little tonight.
Erin , i couldnt manage to log onto that site that has the one over one chart for the birds etc. Not that i am even close to stitching a little bird or butterfly yet.

This poor bee took me over a year to complete (legs will be stitched at the end).... mainly because I didn't work on FP for that long That's a dime next to it.

We used to have two Burmese cats that had lovely natures , they were very playful as well as very affectionate.

I have seen a new chart called Kitty kitty which is made into a pillow but they have framed it as well, think it is a Jca chart, very cute.

Well back to fp, thanks for all your help.when I look at all your photos I wish I was that far, all your work is beautiful.
Erin, I have looked at that site and it does need membership, I have also seen that there...

J, I've left the birds and such for times when I feel like working on another part of the design. Also, I like having the flowers in place and that's why I tend to stitch the flowers first. I'm currently in a bit of a stitching slump and haven't gotten any stitching done for days. I started the Little Wheels Birth Announcement this month and it's an easy, but boring stitch. I hope to get back to it today (and finish it soon!) I've also got a bunch of other WIPs (see...

Hey guys, sorry I've been away so long. It seems the quilting bug has bitten again and I just don't get here as often when I'm working on my quilts.

J - regarding your question about the over one birds. I got a set of charts from a Flower Power yahoo group I belonged to way back when (sometime around 2001). A member of that group took the time to rechart the birds and recreated the charts in excel, then graciously posted them to the yahoo group for anyone to download for...

Thanks (re cats) They just had a checkup/vaccination on Thursday - Maia (black kitten, now about 10 weeks old) weighs 2.88 lbs, Alex (the adult cat) weighs 11.5 lbs - and Maia still pounces on Alex in play then runs away when he pins her too long They are so much fun - which is part of the reason I'm not stitching much

Amy, I have thought about going back later to stitch the birds, not sure what to do??
What are you stitching now??

Ripplemis,your kitten/ cats are beautiful .
I am 3/4 way finishing Tw tapestry cat, very pretty design

I probably sound silly but how do I send Erin a yuku message, as well as how do I go onto the wagon bb, I can't seem to find how to .

What cross stitch sites do you go to for new projects, saw you have heavenly cats and I have never...

Re: Flower Power anyone??

feeds@yuku.com (ripplemis) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:47:49 GMT

She's been on The Wagon bb more often. Or perhaps send her a Yuku message?

My FP is still napping in my closet

Re: Flower Power anyone??

feeds@yuku.com (j) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 05:59:32 GMT

Thanks, is there a different way to ask Erin if she doesn't check this bb often??
Have you started fp again??

Re: Flower Power anyone??

feeds@yuku.com (ripplemis) — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 10:34:47 GMT

I'm using the metallics listed on the chart. As for the over 1 birds... I think ErinMI said that someone on Yahoo chat group charted them. I'm not sure how often she's checking this bb right now, but you might message her and ask about it.

Re: Flower Power anyone??

feeds@yuku.com (j) — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 20:55:44 GMT

Do you have any suggestions on the colours , metalic or bf that can be used on the birds , butterflies etc. I also have seen comments that the birds etc are completed 1 over 1, a previous message(long time ago) there was a mention that someone had charted the birds 1 over 1, where do i find that chart and is it freely available. Any suggestions or tips is very appreciated. Thanks. j

I stitch this one in sections (meaning by bird/insect/plant) and started in the center. I finished the hummingbird, then finished most of the part of daylily that's not mixed with the daisies. Finished the butterfly and this is when finishing sections broke down I've stitched some daisies, some other plants, and started the ladybug. But I do plan on backstitching when I finish xs a plant/critter so I can say I...

Re: Flower Power anyone??

feeds@yuku.com (amymarissa) — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 08:11:34 GMT

J, I'm stitching mine from left to right and I'm stuck in the middle now. I've set mine aside for a while, but I was working on finishing up the daisies and daylilies before continuing on with the flowers to the right. Also, I've only stitched a couple of the hummingbirds. So I have to go back and do the rest of the birds, etc.

Good thing I enjoy stitching this one because it's still going to take a long time to finish it!

Amy

feeds@yuku.com (j) — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 19:35:05 GMT

Just a quick question, is it better to finish the lillies before moving on to the next flowers. Just wondered how everyone is working through their fp. Thanks

I've recently pulled out my restarted Flower Power and am having a ball working on it again Is there anyone out there that would like to join me in a SAL? I haven't gotten any pics posted yet, but I'm planning to soon.

Here's a link to tempt those of you that might not know the design...
