I got the funniest e-mail from my GF -- asking me if I've fallen into a rabbit hole!! Not exactly ... just been busy & not much stitching to share. I joined
facebook AND I started a blog for our EGA chapter, called
Flying Fingers Plus. I hope the NANI members will become involved and share their needlework!
I've pulled out this WIP:
This is my WIP for Indiana State Day.I am behind other chapter members in stitching up their sample.Probably because hardanger isn't very easy for me!!!Luckily, there will be some hands-on training for people like me who have a hard time grasping the conceptThe designer has two different ways to complete the center -- one involves cutting & embellishing, the other no cutting & just embellishing. Tho, I'm not quite ready to do the centerKarol has photos of ther completed amulet HERE and there are pictures on the State Day blog.

Your WIP is absolutely gorgeous and I really wish I could join you at the State Fair but alas I reside in the U.K. Patti xxx
Indiana State Day is on my calendar. I can't wait. LOVE your WIP. The colors are beautiful.
Hi Leila,
What a lovely piece of hardanger! I've never seen one done with a multicolored thread before and love it. Nice work.
That is going to be really pretty! I just love that overdyed your using on it.
Wow those colors are so pretty!!!

What stunning needlework, Lelia!!
Beautiful WIP - love the thread you're using. :0)
amazing work,i love the color floss,and the Hardanger style,look really great, beautiful.
Awesome piece and I love the colors. I want to go back to some hardanger stitching this year but I have not found the time to drag out the booklets and instruction books yet. My finger is healed but I have not picked up much stitching.Have a wonderful Easter.
Just realized that Indiana State Day is for Emb Guild Members...thought it was a public show. Oh well, next time.
Lelia, the colored fiber you're using in your wip is wonderful! I'm having a hard time believing that hardanger isn't easy for you, but will go with that for now. While it's not easy, you're doing a splendid job and one would think by your pic that you're an old pro. :D
YOur WIP is beautiful, I love the colours!
I love the colors that you are using for your WIP!
