Book of Ink Circles Completed

Tracy released the final part of Book of Ink Circles on her site today – or more accurately, Barfy the corner cat took over the site and did it for her. Check it out.

But Tracy and Barfy were very kind and let up-to-date stitchers have the last part early. So I finished mine a few days ago, even if I couldn’t share pictures until now, when the final part was released.

In all it’s glory, here’s my Book of Ink Circles. It’s stitched 1 over 1 on 28-ct Quaker cloth (sorry, I don’t know the colour as it was an off-cut, but I think it is either Desert Sand or Biscuit) using “Tracy’s Colors” from Carrie’s Creation Threads.

Next part for Book of Ink Circles

We got a lovely little bird to stitch this time around. I got it stitched in a day and now I’ve only got one part left. It comes out on the 24th February. I can’t believe this is nearly finished.

Up to date with Book of Ink Circles

Yay, while watching yet more tennis last night, I got all caught up with Book of Ink Circles (until the next part comes out next week). I just love how this one came out. I think it is my favourite block of all so far. I’m so close now – only two more parts to go and it will be finished. As everything else I’m working on this year is BAP size, it will be great to have a finish.

And still more Book of Ink Circles

I got the bottom square of swirlies finished while watching tennis last night. I just love the colours in this one. I think it is much prettier than the swirls at the top.

As I am now wearing old glasses (already broken and glued back together as a back-up pair) that don’t quite sit right, it has been a bit of an adventure, but I’m getting there. My main glasses have been taken to the optometrist, who said they could be repaired, so now I just have to wait until it is done. Thank goodness they could be fixed.

On to the pictures…

More Book of Ink Circles

I’ve finished the next part of Book of Ink Circles. Two more to go to be up to date and then two more to be finished.

(For anyone who reads this through Multiply, it seems the last update didn’t migrate over – typical, that I use Multiply to share with my stitching friends and somehow it is always the stitching posts that don’t migrate. So if you want to check that one out, it is here.)

Okay, update over and on to the pictures…

Book of Ink Circles Progress

I’m behind with my Book of Ink Circles.  I got so caught up with stitching on Dawn Star I let the releases of the new parts go by without keeping up.  Having finished my Dawn Star page, the plan is to get caught up again with Book of Ink Circles.

While watching the Australian Open (not nearly as convenient for stitching as cricket, but there’s cricket on tomorrow), I just got the bottom left hand corner finished.  However, I notice that somehow I missed posting the previous part,  So here come the pictures.

The whole thing so far
