I have been working on Red by Mirabilia this week.  I am really happy with my progress as I stitched over three diagonals.  Her arm is starting to appear and I have also started another section of her dress.  I am stitching this section horizontally because I don’t want the color variation in the Caron Waterlilies to put diagonal stripes in the dress. I really love how everything is starting to come together.

I have started another diagonal.  This diagonal is on the border of things so I am beginning to see changes in the colors that are being used.  It is kind of exciting to see after all of the red that I have been working with.

  

I finished another diagonal tonight. The cloak is showing up even more and I like the folds that are showing up.  I am glad for the border of the cloak as it breaks up all of the red that I have been working with.  I really like the border too.  The greens there make it almost luminescent.

  

I put in four hundred more stitches tonight.  However, it doesn’t look like I did much because I am still working through the cloak.  I am getting close to seeing something besides the cloak but I need to work through a couple more diagonals first.

  

The next project in my rotation is Red by Mirabilia. I have had a lot of time to stitch tonight. I finished another diagonal and also found the left side of the design. Just when you get bored with stitching large blocks of red the border with a ton of colors comes into play to change your pace. It is a good mix.
