Tiger Stitch-a-Long part 2

Hi everyone! I hope you are safe and well. We're lucky that we're in  are only in the heavy smoke, but safe from the fires. 2020 continues to be so darn 2020...

Here's where I was last time:

And here's where I am now -- the tiger and some of the bushes are stitched!

I really like the subtle colors in the tiger... and his very sweet face:

Perhaps he's vegetarian?


My goal for next time is to finish stitching the leaves on the top, and start the top border.

Our next check in is on October 4. Till then, check out all the great projects that the other stitchers in this stitch-a-long are working on:

Avis, Claire, Gun, Carole, Sue, Constanze, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, CindyHeidi, Jackie, Hayley, Megan, Deborah, Mary MargaretRenee, Carmela, SharonDaisy, AnneConnieAJ, JennyLaura, CathieLinda, and Helen.

  1. Wow, you have done a lot of stiching these last three weeks. That tiger is beautiful. So glad that you are safe. Those wildfires are horrifying.

    1. Thanks Cathie! This piece is actually relatively small -- at least compared to my previous needlepoints! There's a lot of plain background I'll need to do eventually.

    1. Thanks Avis! Since we're being told to stay indoors due to the poor air quality, that means more time for stitching!

  6. Smoke up here in Bellingham too :( I feel just awful for down south. I can't even imagine and I have family in Clackamas Co. - still safe thankfully. That tiger really looks so life like. Hope you meet your goal :)

    1. Thanks Sue! Yep, the Morris pillows were 14-count, this one is 12-count. It's also a smaller pattern, which hopefully means I'll be able to finish it before, oh, 2022! Hope you are well.

  8. You are incredibly fast at needle point Sunny! Mr. Tiger really looks regal and the colors of the bushes just make him stand out all the more!

    1. Thanks Kathy -- I really like the colors on this piece so it's moving along. I also have another project I really want to work on (sadly, not one of the things I had even been considering!) so that's nudging me forward.
