I've been working hard to keep up with Gloria. This is a SAL by Tempting Tangles that I am stitching on 32 count white opalescent linen. I don't know why I am having so much trouble with this particular piece...the thread tangles worse than any other thing I've worked on!! I don't know if it catches on the sparkly thread that is woven in the linen...or what...but sheesh, it's taking twice as long as it normally would. Still...it's a beautiful pattern. I'm happy to report, though I was supposed to go out to a ladies gathering today, I stayed home (because of a headache) and knocked this one out as part 5 was issued yesterday. The 5th part was the letter A. Now back to my regularly scheduled exchange stitching...
I have finished stitching something for an exchange...but I can't show it yet. Just to let you know, there has only been one day that passed since the first of January that I haven't stitched at least 20 minutes a day. It was a challenge I signed up for in December. It sure helps get things done!
I'm watching the weather in Northern NY where a lot of my friends live. I'm hoping they are safe, although they did lose power for a short time (one friend reported 30 inches so far!). And for the rest of my stitching friends, happy stitching!!

This piece appears to be lovely! Please do post a photo of the entire project when you are finished.
Good for you on keeping up on this SAL, DJ! It is looking fabulous. I had the same issues with twisty, knotting thread when I used opalescent fabric last year. Enjoy your weekend!
Lovely to see this one again, its so elegant looking
Gloria is Glorious! Sorry to hear the thread is misbehaving though.
Gorgeous progress. Wow! I would love to see that much snow sometime in my life. We're always lucky to get anything. I think the most I've ever seen was like 12 inches.
