I am slowly continuing to work on Alphonse Mucha’s Primrose from Scarlet Quince; I haven’t been enjoying working on it and have been neglecting it.

This is from the January 2013 Cross Stitcher magazine (part of the “Oriental Beauties”). I think the fabric is 32 count evenweave; I bought it on clearance at Joann a while back and have no idea what the color is called. I made at least one mistake in the placement of the flowers, and if I’d been paying more attention, I would have done one of the lower large flowers in the darker pink to make it more symmetrical. I’m not sure how I’m going to finish it.

This is another of the Mod Coasters from the freebie section of Cross Stitch & Needlework Magazine’s website. I used three strands of floss on fourteen count plastic canvas with the colors as given. My plan is to trim it and glue it to a four inch square cork coaster (it’s three inches square), but I don’t know what I did with the cork coasters.

I worked some on Alphonse Mucha’s Primrose from Scarlet Quince; I kept on getting distracted by other things (Valentines, teaching my nephew how to cross-stitch). I was starting to get frustrated by the confetti stitching, and I started another project to alternate with this one.
