#BBDweekendSAL for May 2022 and Slow Sunday Stitching - May 8, 2022

 I made some progress on "Their Song" for the May Blackbird Designs Weekend SAL (#BBDweekendSAL).   Last of the bottom edge is done, which also includes the last of the lettering.   And I filled in most of the right side, except for the initials, which I will need to rechart and move over to the very edge since all of my letters are tall ones. (khd)

Plus in order to fill a normal five hour slot on this, I also started filling in the floral, star and random motifs that run along the bottom of the motif area.  There's still several more, plus the big cherry tree and largest black bird yet to go on this piece.  But there's no deadline or plan for this one, so I'm not going work extra on it today.   Instead, I'll move on to the next rotation piece - the Plaza Sewing Bag.

There was a fair bit of other progress this week as well.  Links to the detail posts.

Finished up the ten hours in the rotation for the "Modern Slot" -  "Corgi Caboodle" by Plum Street Samplers

Got a very old piece (2000!) of needlework to FFO status ("GVS1888: An Orphan Sampler" from Antique Sampler and Needlework Quarterly).  I was inspired by all the redwork pincushions being made from new market releases.

The Sock Yarn Blanket has started the final round, the I-cord edge.

AND I got the first (bottom left) of the corner blocks on Lucy Boston "Patchwork of the Crosses"!  Next is the bottom right

All of this was due to the fact that it pretty much rained with thunderstorms all the days that I worked from home this week, so there was very little time spent in the garden.  Linking up with the Slow Sunday Stitching crew (current roundup).
