Blackbird weekend stitch-a-long yesterday and today. I'm still working away on "Their Song", #24 in the original Loose Feathers Club. This month I'm working along the bottom row of motifs under the branches of the cherry tree with the big blackbird perched in it. I've finished on everything on the left side of the tree trunk and sketched in the base of the tree just to make it easier to count. This is at somewhere around three and a half hours worth of work.
When I hit five hours, I'll put it away until next month. There's no plan or deadline on this, I'm just enjoying stitching on it.
Let's se; what else? I got around the second corner on the Sock Yarn Blanket, but still just row after row of navy blue I Cord edging. Good floss tube knitting! But no picture since it looks exactly like the first corner LOL!
And I got the four little squares on the corners of "Patchwork of the Crosses". EXCEPT this happened:
oops. Yeah, there was more seam ripper deployment when I saw that! I'll move that little black square over to the actual CORNER after I check out the rest of the SSS crew (link to the current round up).
In garden news, my tomatoes and peppers are blooming. We've had some pretty cool weather (60s), so they are a bit later than some years.
"Their song" is a very creative design... I spent a few moments looking at the details. I love the idea of putting a project away after 5 hours of work and getting the excitement of working on something "new".
ReplyDeleteYour 'Their Song' must be a most relaxing and soothing pretty to stitch. It does give a sense of calm to the eyes. Just a little mistake...thank goodness for the trusty seam ripper. =)
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty embroidery
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the misplaced corner. I am enjoying watching your progress on these blocks. The fabrics are so pretty. Your cross-stitch is looking great.
