Jonathan Adlar's needlepoint pillows are always graphic and fun, although as Ruth says, we could stitch them in a more interesting way. If you are curious about his other housewares, always tongue-in-cheek and fun, read this profile. There's a bit about his needlepoint but the article is more about his ceramics. I love the three white ceramic hands in the photograph!
If you are more a Barbie fan than an interior designer, not to worry--I have something just for you to read. There are photos of the Barbie needlepoint, too!
This last URL has links to the real Barbie Malibu beach house which you can see in a slide show or on YouTube. The video has Jonathan Adler as your tour guide.
In other Non-Barbie news, I did another two sets of the H through Q couched rows of the May stitch on the Glittering Kimono piece last night. That is about an inch of the trim along the edge of the jacket. It takes me around 45 minutes and is about all I can do without starting to get confused. So I'm going to start doing a set of H-Q rows each night and then will put the piece down to stitch South Seas Fiji.
I won't have the Glittering Kimono caught up by September 1st when the September stitch for this mystery project is supposed to be posted on the ANG website but I just can't get it done before then, not with constant interruptions and being tired at the end of a long day.

I won't be caught up either......oh, well....we will go on!
Amen. We will persevere.
I did the same with the couching. I couldn't see the pattern until I mapped it out similar to yours. IMO, the Krenik braid used in this band is too heavy (or thick). It was extremely difficult to get it to stay in place on those lines where there is only one couching thread.
I am almost thru with August and hope to be finished before Sept comes out.
I usually go to a smaller size of Kreinik than a chart or the instructions call for. This is a matter of taste and how well you like working with larger/smaller Kreinik. Luckily most colors come in a variety of diameters so we can suit ourselves.
