MY SAL report was supposed to be on the 2nd.  I took my photo on late/early am of Sunday and went off to bed, far too tired to write anything.  Then Sunday while in the kitchen, I went to turn one direction but only half of me went and the other half stayed still -out went the back.  Not a comfortable thing and this was the worst that I have have had happened.  Usually a few hours of laying still and a wonderful heating pad works wonders.  This time, it's been over a week and I had to add some pain killers and visit to the chiropractor.  Now things are better.  So, a way bit late, here is Klimt - my SAL piece:

Hopefully more tomorrow.

 

Two updates.  I admit I only worked on two projects this past week.

Liberty For All

I started this piece on the 4th of July

I outlined the bowl (the white barely seen)

so that I can just fill in and not look at the chart

Now to find the perfect greens for the leaves.

Klimt

Currently this is my big piece.

I haven't made much progress this week.

(I really wanted to work on the other piece)

For both of these "before pictures" scroll back to 

the last two posts.

Have a great week-end.

Don't forget the other wonderful stitchers

Avis, Claire, Gun, Carole, Sue, Constanze, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Cindy, Heidi, Jackie, Sunny, Hayley, Megan, Deborah, Mary Margaret, Renee, Carmela, Sharon, Daisy, Anne, Connie, AJ, Jenny, Laura, Cathie, Linda, Helen

I know it's late but we lost power earlier in the evening after a storm ran thru.  Also lost most of a tree.  Clean-up will be be a bear.

Here's the up date on Liberty for all  which I started on July 4th.  (and the cover sheet)

misc

It seems that I have missed some photos that I meant to show plus I haven't shown my annual patriotic stitching so here is a misc grouping of photos.

St Sylvestre

COMPLETE!

I have loved stitching on this..

This photo was actually taken a month ago.

I've stitched more on it and need a new photo.

PATRIOTIC PIECES

SAL is coming up on Sunday.

Awkward

I thought I posted an update photo last week and my surprise, it's not there.  So here is a delayed update on Klimt. 

as of June 26, 2020

Another finish

I finished this piece a few days before Descending Order but since it wasn't part of the SAl, I waited until today to show it off.

St. Sylvestre and Descending Order are both Long Dog Samplers.  And except for the alphabet in Descending, both were a joy to stitch.  I have 3 that I am thinking of starting within the next week.  Stay tuned to see which one gets the nod.
