Hi everyone,
I’m re-posting this as it seems to have fallen off my blog and gone down a black hole. I hope it comes back!
I’m so pleased to show you my completed Stage 4 of Cirque des Cercles from Ink Circles. I hope you like it.
I’m stitching along with Claire over at Claire93. Unfortunately, Izz at Isabel’s Needleworks is no longer able to continue stitching along with us as her eyes won’t allow her to concentrate for long periods on cross stitch. We miss her 
but she is going to continue stitching her sampler, just at a slower pace. I’ll let you know when she has done more so you can take a look at her update posts too. Claire is stitching the same design as me and it is looking gorgeous!! Why not pop over to take a look at h prerogress which will also be posted sometime today?
Our next completed stage will be revealed on 27th April as long as we are ready to post by then.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

/ April 6, 2014wow that looks phenomenal. The gorgeous colours on the dark aida look great 🙂
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 6, 2014Thank you very much. I was wondering whether I’d made a mistake with the black fabric (which is actually evenweave rather than aida) but I’m getting used to it. As long as the light is good it is fine to work with:-)
fallfromgrace349
/ April 6, 2014apologies about the aida mistake, I have great sympathies for you with a dark evenweave. Ive only tried this once and found it very taxing. Will look amazing though 🙂
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 6, 2014That’s no problem 🙂 No pain, no gain so they say 😉
witchylin
/ April 7, 2014It is looking wonderful Avis. Although the dark background is harder to use it is well worth the effort as the result is stunning. Looking forward to seeing the next stage.
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 7, 2014It’s really fun to stitch as the design is sort of divided into manageable portions. It’s just the light up here in the north that holds things up sometimes 🙂

/ April 7, 2014It looks great!
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 7, 2014Thank you! I’m enjoying the process 🙂
rutigt

/ April 13, 2014Oh there won’t be any giving up here 🙂 Isn’t it about time one of your WIPs made an appearance? You could stitch along with me and Claire. Only a small section each time. We’ll cheer you on! Go Gun go 🙂
rutigt
/ April 14, 2014Hmmmmm……..you´re almost making me wanna do it 🙂 I feel a bit tempted !

Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 14, 2014Well me and Claire have about eight stages left and we post about it every three weeks so if you have a project that you could finish like that, join us. The next time we post is 27th April. How does that sound?
rutigt
/ April 14, 2014Oh Sew Tempting 🙂 I´ll check my embroderybox and see what I can find 🙂 If I find something, I´ll show it on my blog tomorrow 🙂
