I worked on Flowers of the Needle yesterday. The picture probably looks the same as yesterday's post but little things have been finished up. I realized that the green under the basket wasn't finished. I needed to put in the year on the other side of the basket. I added some flowers around the outside vine.
I started the needleroll. It is slow going putting in the alphabet over one on 40. I can't believe that Anette has worked on 64 count. I didn't know you could do something so small.
I put a few stitches in the experimental bug. I should finish him off. I want to trace another bug and try him again with a different background
I looked at the Sue Spargo needlebook and decided that nothing is going to make it better and I should just finish it off. The colors are never going to change ( puke green) and I dislike them intensely.
I am getting excited about leaving on Thursday. I'd better start packing.

So cute little shirts, they have so adorable clothes nowdays for little ones.Not same as when my children were babies:)
ReplyDeleteOh, that yellow-eyed bird...:) he is cute in some way anyway.
Looking so great with the start on the needleroll,
and I am still drooling about the needlecase, you have stitched it so beautifully!
About stitching on small linen, canvas etc, I think it is easier to stitch on 64ct silk gauze than on higher ct linen.for example 40 ct regular linen is very work intense I think.
But it is so beautiful with the smaller stitches than on a larger ct linen.
It looks more smooth and elegant:)
The experiments on the casket projects are so fun to see, I am amazed at your energy to do all these things, and it is very interesting to see what comes next:)
Have a lovely day, and Take care!

I love the little outfit for Claire - so pretty. And I'm with you on that bird. Are there really people who like that colour green? But it must feel good to have learned a new technique. Only one day until you go. Happy and safe travels.
