This week it was the Open-base Needle-woven Picot stitch --- not a whole lot different in execution from the previous week's Closed-base Needle-woven Picot stitch: A wider base is all, I think. Here is mine:

The finished piece is 15" X 18" on 24 ct. pale blue Congress cloth (24 ct), using various ThreadWorX, DMC and Carrie's Creations threads and several shades of Kreinik #8 and #12 braid. The color scheme is called "Electric Blue" with the purple is my "spin" on the original thread collection. It was a Shining Needle Society on-line class from John Waddell which started last December 1, 2011.
Now to figure out how to finish it... This week, I caught up on the pale blue fan stitches in the border for "Birds of a Feather": Completed the latest assignments of Color Trough the Ages and TAST 2012, picked fabrics for the November Color Palette Challenge: and started on the last 13 sections of "Kimono - Revisited" (got three sections done in three hours!): I also went shopping for a new project (a class online called "Stupendous Stitching") but failed miserably in my quest for basic supplies (Michaels has filled the store with Christmas "stuff" and nothing crafty can be found!). In addition, I signed up for next year's Crazy Quilt Journal Challenge (although I probably won't make it part of the Bead Journal Project this time), am seriously considering TAST 2013, and am talking with the administrators of the Bead Journal Project about being a "detail angel" next year... I also have a name shield project waiting for me from Stitcher's Village and a whole lot of pieces planned for next year's fair. Needless to say, even though I am caught up, I am digging that hole even deeper in terms of simultaneous projects! Oh my... will I ever get back to cross stitch?
This week's stitch was a fixed-base needle-woven picot stitch: and here is the "page" for October which includes the Beaded Hebedo Edge, Knotted Loop Stitch. Italian Knotted Loop Border, Buttonhole Wheel Cup and the fixed-base needle-woven picot:
