Growing Pansies
9 June 2006

Stiefmütterchen, Progress as of 09.06.2006 - Click for a larger image! A little while ago I finished pansy number twelve of sixteen on “Stiefmütterchen.” If you do the math, the means that I am now officially 75% finished with this project. Yeah!

Though I didn’t post an update last week, I really enjoyed working on the eleventh square and think it is quite pretty. In fact, it is quite possibly my favorite square even though technically it contains violas, not pansies. (In English we differentiate between violas and pansies, but in German the word appears to be the same.)

I also really like pansy #12 even though I misstitched at least three times. I was too lazy to frog them out, and besides, I decided this is one of those things where you can’t tell the difference anyway.

Normally on Fridays when I am done with my weekly pansy I either put my stitching away for the day or work on something else. However, since I would like to get this project done by the end of the month, this evening I plan to begin the thirteenth pansy. I doubt I will finish it this evening, but I should at least get a good start on it.

    It’s all part of ‘The Pansy Collective’ - 13 of 16 (Like 7 of 9 from Star Trek: Voyager…)

    Sorry, I’m a nerd! ;O)

    I’ve looked at several of your pansy updates, and it was only today that I realized the fabric is a 36 count! my eyes ache just reading that number, lol. Pansies are one of those flowers that just *have* to be planted in flowerbeds. My love for them began when I was little, and we grew some to enter in the county fair. :)
