Linking up with the Slow Sunday Stitching crew. I have a finish to report this week. I got the Victoria Sampler "Earth" finished finally. This one did take a bit longer than the last one, but only because I didn't work on it quite as steadily.
I think it turned out well. I'm happy with the 'clover' that added semi-precious beads to the piece, despite my initial thought that they might be too visually 'heavy'.
I've made decent progress on the Zombie piece that is next up in the needlework rotation. The stems and leaves are rather finnicky - lots of weird partial stitch angles, which are NOT easy on Aida cloth.
And last, but not least - I finished Block #27 of 30 on the center part of Aunt Lottie's Garden, my current quilting project.
Today's goals are to get Block #28 ready to work on as my travel project for the upcoming week, then try to get the vine and leaf stuff done on the other side of the cartouche on the towel. I would really like to get that finished off by the first so I can get going on Dutch Beauty. It's been way too long since I worked on that one.
