Check out the
Turtle Trot SAL started by Claudette from
BAP Attack. We stitch at a turtle's pace and hope to eventually get to a finish! Here is my progress on five of my WIPs. You can click on the picture to see it bigger.
Stained Glass Nativity: I finally picked up this old needlepoint project and stitched more black outlining in the third panel. I'm amazed that the yarn hasn't rotted away, since I started this in 1980! LOL.

The Sorcerer: I stitched a few tan stitches in the center of his cloak. When I finish this one, I would like to start The Sorceress, and frame them both together!

Cross stitch charts do not go out of fashion ... I could never imagine that her embroidery had started in the 80s ... All are really beautiful! Kisses

Great progress.
I really like the nativity design. Even though it is from the 80s, it still looks fresh and modern. It will be really sharp when you're finished.
Oh wow, I don't know how you do it, they are all fabulous.

Congrats on your progress! Your Nativity is really lovely, the colours and shading make it actually look like light is shining through the glass :) It's amazing that you started it so long ago, but good for you for picking it up again! Gives me hope for my own UFOs, LOL ;)
Beautiful stitching, Debbie, and now I know what the Turle Trot means!
