This is going to take a while...

Part 12 and the center of the design were released today, so the mystery has been fully revealed - very nice! Martina did seem to pull it all together well. Not sure yet about all those extra silks, but I see now that the grey ones will be used. Anyhow, it is going to take a while to finish this up this month. She gave us quite a lot to do. I started tonight with the center design - it looked like more fun than the border - oh yes, we get to go all the way around the design again... and add stairs above each pool. There is something that I just love that is going to go in that very center area still - I worked my way in to it tonight - tomorrow I hope to stitch that special little thing that Martina gave us for our center. I love it! You'll see...

I am going to keep in mind that M9 is going to take a while when I set my goals this month -

2. Work on Paradigm Lost SAL with Jo - yes
3. Work on An Emblem of Love SAL with Karen - yes

5. Stitch some gifts - yes, finished 11 gifts this month
6. Work on Bordeaux Sampler SAL with Anne - yes

Yippie! The final part. I'm very curious as to what the border and the centre are going to look like!

Great start to the center of the Mystery. I am going to try and get the center stitched up this evening...then on to the monsterous outer edges. I am so impressed that you have been able to keep up.

I love the centre bit so far so can't wait to see what finishes it off! One more month and it'll be done - I'm so impressed you've managed to stick with and complete both those huge Chatelaines! :)

This has been such a huge project - it really looks gorgeous though.

Glad to hear you are feeling better!

Trying to send you an email, but it keeps bouncing back again ... I'll try again later today :) Maybe I'd better have a chat to my ISP tomorrow to see if there's something they can check in their settings? No doubt it will eventually get through to you ... they usually do :)

Your almost to the finish line with the piece Carol. I know you can do it!! :) You had some amazing finishes/goals for this month. Each and every one of your FOB's are beautiful and so perfect for the ladies who received them.
