Posts: 21 10/08/09 07:33 AM	Tags : None I haven't started yet, I'm waiting for all my materials. But I have the chart! I'm changing a few things. I'll be using a 28ct Cashel Linen, hand-dyed in "Thunderstorm" from Silkweaver's (it was already in my stash. As close to black as I could get without having to actually buy a new piece and hurting my eyes trying to see while stitching on it.) Also, since I didn't have any of the DMC colors in my stash (what's up with that!?! I've got to have like every other color, though!) and since I'd have to order and wait for that too, I went ahead and ordered the Hand-Dyed Fibers (Vikki Clayton) conversions. So it'll still be the same color, but in silk! Yay! I'm keeping the beads, bicones, Waterlilies, Silk N' Colors, and Treasure Braid the same. Oh, I can't wait to start!!! This won't be my main focus piece, but it will be fun! I hope other people are stitching it with me, and we can show pictures. It'll be my first attempt at a decent Chatelaine. So, anyone else joining me in the Mini Mandala Circle journey? --Chelsea

Posts: 21 10/13/09 02:44 PM	I just got my beads, Waterlilies, and Silk N' Colors. Just waiting on my HDF and PTB, then I'm ready to begin. Yipee! Jerri, will you join me in posting the occassional WIP photo? Sadly, the MMC won't be my focus piece, but it will be a fun distraction and change of pace. I'm so excited! --Chelsea WIPs: Scarlet Quince All is Vanity (Gilbert) 53.72%; HAED QS Misty Morning (Hannah Lynn) 17.55%; HAED QS Dark Cherry (Kuik) 16.35%; HAED Aquamarine (Anderson) 13.81%; WDC 2009 SAL Dancing Cherubins (D'Champs) ~10%; Dinky Dyes From the Ashes (Mason) ~4%; Chatelaine Mini Mandala Circle 01 (Weber) 0%.

Jillydog4	Mini Mandala Circle - progress photo	#3	[url]	[-]
Posts: 18 10/20/09 10:20 AM	Hello, I've updated my blog with pictures of my two Chatelaine finishes - the 2004 Christmas, Mini Mandala Mystery 3 and my progress on my Mini Mandala Circle. I tried black Belfast - but my eyes wouldn't work right, so I picked a piece from my stash - Enchanted Fabric's Spring Meadow - 28ct Monaco. Also pictured on my circle is my "laying tool" for those who may have wondered what it looks like. Jerri http://woodhavenacres.blogspot.com/ Last Edited By: Jillydog4 10/20/09 10:37 AM.

Posts: 21 10/21/09 07:08 PM	Oh, your pics are wonderful! And you've made excellent progress on MMC. I'm jealous. It looks fabulous on Spring Meadow. Very nice choice. I'm coming along extremely slowly. I've got the inner four petals done, but only in the DMC colors. No silks (well, I stitched the DMC in Vikki Clayton's silks, but they're not variegated), no backstitching, and no beads. But, slow and steady wins the race! Mine's not as delicate looking, but I still think it's lovely. I'll show pics when I have a bit more stitched, but it might be awhile. --Chelsea WIPs: Scarlet Quince All is Vanity (Gilbert) 53.72%; HAED QS Misty Morning (Hannah Lynn) 17.55%; HAED QS Dark Cherry (Kuik) 16.35%; HAED Aquamarine (Anderson) 13.81%; WDC 2009 SAL Dancing Cherubins (D'Champs) ~10%; Dinky Dyes From the Ashes (Mason) ~4%; Chatelaine Mini Mandala Circle 01 (Weber) 0%.

Posts: 21 10/28/09 09:44 AM	Yay Suzanne! Glad to have another stitcher join in this wonderful design! Do let us know what fabric you decide on. I'm making good progress on my Mandala. I've got the inner circle of petals done, as well as the gold-green leaves/flowers, and I'm currently working on the purple flower puffs. I've got the speciality stitches and threads done too, as far as I've stitched anyway. I'm saving the beading till last, since I don't want to snap any beads off in QSnaps or hoops. But I'm loving this piece, it's so much fun. --Chelsea WIPs: Scarlet Quince All is Vanity (Gilbert) 53.72%; HAED QS Misty Morning (Hannah Lynn) 17.55%; HAED QS Dark Cherry (Kuik) 16.35%; HAED Aquamarine (Anderson) 13.81%; WDC 2009 SAL Dancing Cherubins (D'Champs) ~10%; Dinky Dyes From the Ashes (Mason) ~4%; Chatelaine Mini Mandala Circle 01 (Weber) 0%.

Posts: 21 11/05/09 12:41 PM	I saw your newest blog update on your piece, Jerri. It's beautiful! Are you complete yet, like you were hoping to be? I still have the inner circle of little leaves, and all that backstitching, and then the outer circle of gold, and ALL the beads to do. But here's what I've got so far: --Chelsea WIPs: Scarlet Quince All is Vanity (Gilbert) 53.72%; HAED QS Misty Morning (Hannah Lynn) 17.55%; HAED QS Dark Cherry (Kuik) 16.35%; HAED Aquamarine (Anderson) 13.81%; WDC 2009 SAL Dancing Cherubins (D'Champs) ~10%; Dinky Dyes From the Ashes (Mason) ~4%; Chatelaine Mini Mandala Circle 01 (Weber) 0%.

Posts: 21 11/09/09 10:30 AM	I finished beading yesterday! Yay! Less than a month to do my first Chatelaine, and it's soooo gorgeous! Now comes the challenge of a full-size, right? LoL. But anyway, here are 2 pics of my pretty mini mandala circle: and . The first one is blurry, I know. I'm not a photographer. The second is in focus and shows the beads better, but it cuts off the top and bottom of the design, but you get the picture. I'm off to iron it and take it to the frame store today! Yay! --Chelsea WIPs: Scarlet Quince All is Vanity (Gilbert) 53.72%; HAED QS Misty Morning (Hannah Lynn) 17.55%; HAED QS Dark Cherry (Kuik) 16.35%; HAED Aquamarine (Anderson) 13.81%; WDC 2009 SAL Dancing Cherubins (D'Champs) ~10%; Dinky Dyes From the Ashes (Mason) ~4%; Chatelaine Mini Mandala Circle 01 (Weber) 0%.

Posts: 18 11/09/09 05:32 PM	I'm almost finished... This past weekend was just beautiful - Upper 60's and sunny. I couldn't stay in and stitch. My husband and I walked our 11 acres for the last time this year, finding the newest trees, piles of nuts and a few pretty leaves that haven't blown away - LOL. I'm hoping to finish today. I just have the leaves and vines on the bottom half and then I'm done. I pulled out my next one MOONSTONE and am ready to "zip" it on the frame when this one gets done. I'll post pictures of both in the next week or so.... Jerri http://community.webshots.com/user/jerquilts
