Oh, I guess I shouldn't assume everyone knows everything I know, huh? LOL There's an email group on yahoo called Flower Power, where one of the members
recharted all the hummers into over-one. She posted them to the files of that yahoo group. Her name is Susan G. Capps. She did all but one of them, I can't
remember which one wasn't done right now. But I figure I'll do all the others first, then when I'm ready to do that last one, I'll have the
groove down
And thanks for the compliment

Erin, your hummer is beautiful!
I got some work done on mine last night and plan to continue all week. I hope to get quite a bit finished. |

Thanks Rebekah
Will you be posting a picture at the end of the week?
I've been working on mine all day today and got quite a bit done. I'm doing the 2 top daylilies at the same time - we'll see how well that works out...heh. I'll see if DH will take another pic once all the daylilies are done. Erin in MI |

I think Erin and I are working on the same 2 flowers :
 But it will take me a few weeks to finish them. I've been too tired most evenings to stitch on
FP so the Heavenly Cats is getting attention
- needlepoint on 18ct canvas is so much easier to see than 35ct fabric

Wow misako, you are doing yours on 35 ct?!?!? I'm impressed. I had originally started mine on 32 ct and loved the way it was looking, except when I got to
the over-one parts. Even deciding not to do the hummers over-one on that original piece, I knew I wouldn't be able to do the insects either. So, rather
than dreading the insects, I decided to start the whole thing over on 28 ct. Yeah, it's going to be huge, but I'm loving every minute of it now
And
I don't even have to wrestle with the magnifier to do the over-ones
And your Heavenly Cats is going to be a gorgeous piece What are you planning to do with it when you're done? A pillow?

Yes, I will post a pic probably on Monday. My stitching week goes from Tuesday to Sunday, leaving Monday open for the Monday TW SAL. I am at least going to
have the flower that I started done and I hope to do the daylily under it and maybe even start the hummer.
I'm working on 28 ct too. I cannot even imagine what over-1 stiching would be like on 35 ct! |

I just didn't want to deal with the huge fabric
 I haven't really done any over 1 stitching on FP yet (hummingbird eye doesn't really count)
so we'll see how much whining I do when I start on the butterfly 
Heavenly Cats will be framed. If I finish it in time, I'll probably enter it in our state fair this fall - not that a pillow couldn't be entered

Well, after spending most of 2 days working on those 2 top daylilies, they are almost done
I just have the centers to do and the backstitching. I should be
able to get a picture up sometime Sunday. I don't expect a lot of stitching time tomorrow as DH has announced we're having a date day and he's
taking me to 2 movies we've been wanting to see I Am Legend and In the Name of the King, then out do dinner Maybe I'll be able to finish them
tomorrow night when we get home.
How is everyone else doing? Planning much stitching time for this weekend?? Erin in MI |

I finished all of the daylilies tonight
And I even sweet-talked DH into taking a picture for me The colors are off and I can't seem to get the photo
program to do what I want it to, so you'll just have to imagine the colors....

Thanks Ladies
I just can't believe how motivated I'm staying on this piece, very unusual!!  Maybe I should knock on wood now that I've said that 
I've decided to fill in some of the daylily leaves I missed below the flowers, which means I'll probably start in on the daisies, too. That's ok, I'll get to the little bee quicker Although, I think there's a butterfly before that.....it's all good.
So Rebekah, any pics yet?

After I stitch on it today and tonight, I'll get a photo up. Your daylillies look fantastic!
Ripplemiss, I know what you mean about the excess fabric! I had to use quilt clips to keep the extra fabric pinned up and out of my way. Using a higher count fabbie does make sense. I'm worried about how much the framing is going to cost for this project but that is a long way away. |

It looks great Rebekah
That daylily looks gorgeous
I started working on the Painted Lady butterfly below the daylilies yesterday. I'm really pleased with how fast this one is going, compared to the hummer. I'm sure it's because the butterfly is smaller - but it's making me stop dreading the over-one bits. I couldn't believe that hummer took me 3 days to stitch! So, this is a good thing I'm about 1/2 done with the butterfly after maybe 3 hours of work....not too bad. I'll post a pic of it
when I finish it.
