I got the sides done and started one of the pockets.
The front oval is supposed to have an edging stitched on it. I didn't like the edging so I took it out. I think twisted cording will look better. I am thinking of ways to change the handles. They are densely stitched but it just seems like busywork to me. I want something pretty. I want to put long arm cross stitch on the edges but I'm not sure how to round the corners. I may just fidde with it and see what it looks like. Then I would like to stitch a flower design down the middle of the handle. I intend to read the directions today (really!) and see if I can start bringing this design together.
It uses quilt template plastic. Since the sides are stitched I think I can whip them together with no trouble. There are several more pockets to stitch.
It feels good to concentrate on one design for a while and just see how far I can get.
It is snowing again. UGH.
I am almost done with the second corner of Friesland.
I stitched it while watching Better Call Saul so that what I think of when I see it. Crazy show.
I want to start reading a book. I have at least a dozen on my IPad. The one I want to start is The Girl on the Train.
