A sampling of my designs as well as personal stitching, and life in general.

 Here is where I left off .





In Sequence











and lastly
where I was this morning


I felt the progression was the better way to show how much has been stitched
instead of one huge movement of taking it off the scroll frames.
I hate rewinding pieces  to get to the next spot
but ong ago I decided I needed the scroll frame
due to all the specialty and satin stitches.

Now go and enjoy the rest of the group!
For those in winter, stay warm!
we had snow last night.

 SAL again - 1st of 2023

I have been doing some "test" stitching to see what kept my interest.

I decided on An Open Heart by the Drawn Thread.


It's beautiful (to me) sampler
lots of different stitches


the scissor points are pointing to where I am right now


And here is a clear photo of where I am

the middle band has all the speciality stitches
next is a whitework border around everything
on the outside is a blackwork border
completed in a medium to light mauve

you can even see my basting stitches to keep me straight
and to count correctly
