I thought there were five distinct colors of satin stitching. It turns out there are six. But as I was working my way through the first color, I noticed that I had left some of the cross stitching undone ... in the octagonal medallions and half medallions. Filling in the cross stitches set me back a bit and I did not quite complete the DMC 353 satin stitches on Sunday as planned. So here it is Monday morning, and I've only managed to start the second color, DMC 799.
At the rate I am going, I doubt I'll be able to finish all the satin stitching this month.which is a real disappointment. My first finish of 2014 is likely to come in February or even March. This is a far cry from the good old days, when I could count on three or four finishes a month. I am stitching more slowly and seem to have less time to stitch as well.

But what you are stitching looks beautiful and that is the main thing!
The satin stitch certainly adds a new dimension to it, the pink is stunning.
Gorgeous Regina. I like the light blue.

I think you're also stitching more complicated = time consuming designs, too. This will be worth every extra minute when finished!
ITs the never ending band!
