I'm taking an online stitch and finishing class from Jackie DuPlessis through the Shining Needle Society. I'm working all the queen stitches, and feel like I'm becoming quite proficient in stitching them. They are pretty time consuming, but I'm almost becoming addicted to them...note, I said,"almost"...
This is the needlebook with all the stitching complete:
This class is basically a finishing class and I hope I can learn something from Jackie in the process. I'll show you my progress as it unfolds.
I just finished listening to the audio book "A Thousand Splendid Suns" while stitching all those queens. A fabulous read, sad at times, with a very sweet ending.
Until next time, have a fabulous spring!

The queen stitches are perfect--but of course, what else is expected from a queen... ;)
Fantastic! You are definitely a pro at queen stitches now! Hope you enjoy the class!
Ooooh Love it Can't wait to see it come together. Love those audio books!
It looks fantastic. I know just what you're saying about those queen stitches. I hated them at first but then I almost liked them......almost! LOL
Those stitches look hard! Way to go on taking on a stitching class. I was thinking about doing the same thing to expand my stitching horizons. The project you chose looks beautiful! Can't wait to see what other stitches you learn to do!!
The Queen of Queen stitches, indeed! They look amazing! I can't wait to watch your progress - Jackie's classes always look WAY too difficult to me but the finished products area always stunning!

You are so lucky to be taking a class with Jackie DuPlesis and the project you are stitching for it is lovely. Don't you just love the look of those little queen stitches?
I just finished reading A Thousand Splendid Suns and loved it as well.
That's going to be an awesome set when you finish! I love queen stitches but they do take a long time to do -but worth it!
Happy Easter !!
