Raven Queen progress & Apr/May goals

Finally, an update on Raven Queen! I didn't quite finish the dress but I made some good progress and I'm happy with how she's coming along. :)

Showing off the black stitching first because it's easy to see exactly where I left off last time and how much of this dress is new since last time. 


 I wasn't able to completely fill in the top by the end of April but I made a good effort!


I also made good progress on Peacock Band Sampler but I can't find the pictures I took. Or maybe I didn't actually remember to take pictures? Not sure but I will show it next time. :)

April's goals were: 

  • add one band to Peacock Band Sampler - DONE! (actually added two)
  • finish Raven Queen's dress - not quite, but made good progress!
  • finish Cucumbers - DONE!
  • probably no buy of any stitching stuff - bought Tomatoes (Owlforest)

I thought I already had the Tomatoes pattern but alas, no. I bought it to go along with Cucumbers, and it uses the same fabric and threads so no additional expense beyond the cost of the chart. Less than $5 since I got it direct from their website - their Etsy shop is almost 2x the price!

So for May:

  • add one band to Peacock Band Sampler
  • finish Raven Queen's dress
  • stitch half of Tomatoes
  • probably no buy of any stitching stuff
  • Starting to feel a bit excited about nearing the end of Peacock Band Sampler! It's really beautiful in real life and everything feels like a breeze after the Jessica band, lol. Should be done soon!
