Nadareh, Progress 11

After many starts and stops, I have finished stitching the background diagonals for the next border. It will be fun seeing the colors as I fill it in. However, I have turned my attention to the Cats border again and am now busy filling in the ones I couldn`t before due to lack of thread.  I purchased several skeins of the background so that I will have it for another project and will take the next several days to complete the cat border.

My folding frame is holding up fairly well but I don`t think it will be suitable for another use after this rug is finished. It has been a godsend for me when traveling though and protects my rug very well. I might try to think of another way to make one another time when I have a large project to complete. Since it is made from foam core, it isn`t very sturdy, but good enough for now.

I have also been working on some little pillows at different stages in order to do a demonstration for the OMEGA show coming up on May 3rd and I think I am ready for it now. As my little pillow stages are now done, I can re-focus on the Nadareh.  I would like to get more done before the show so that I can bring it with me to show my progress and the silk gauze my rugs are stitched on..
