I finished Garland Fair last night - it's all I did yesterday while I waited for my car to be finished. I really love this pattern and I'm as happy with this as anything else I've completed all year. It was worked on R&R 30 count Cordy's Special Blend using one skein of Caron Waterlilies Graphite - 1 thread over two. I will load a better photo on Monday - I have dial up at home so I can't load a photo with a lot of detail.
So what's next? I'm going to start on my Village of Hawk Run Hollow - month twelve. I'm ready to go with Sunflower Charms from Blackbird Designs. I've also got a couple of small one color designs (Heart and Hand from Hands to Work and Quaker Tree from The Workbasket - both freebies) that I want to do before I move onto anything else. I want to experiment with a color for my Ink Circles design so I figure a small one color will accomplish that - and I'll have something to show for an experiment.
I've also have all four Arbors from The Drawn Thread - I just need the linen for those.
But I don't have to decide until probably Sunday - when I expect to finish my first block from Village. I've already decided that I'm only going to work on that piece at home - it's just to big to drag around.

It turned out beautifully! Nice work!!
wow! Your needles must be smoking! Congratulations on another wonderful finish!
Wow Margie - this looks great!! I never thought this pattern was one of my favorite BBD's but now that I see yours I'm am really liking it. When I look at yours it looks like it's done in purple tones - is that the monitor or the real colors? Your note says you used graphite threads which sounds like grays. Just wondering. Congrats on your finish!
Congratulations on your latest finish. Looking forward to seeing your next project.
Jeanne, the graphite skein was purples and teals. I love it. Thanks!
I love the colors on this! I have been searching for something other than Maple Syrup to use and I decided today to us this same color. Hope mine turns out as beautifully as yours did. Nice job Margie
Congrats on the finish - lovely job!
