I'm Back

Thanks to all the kind readers who missed me.  I'm back.  Someone was not happy with what I wrote and I had to figure out if it was me or her.  It's her.  I do not want to offend anyone. The words I write are my own interpretation of the world as I see it.

I also wanted to see if I stitch to the blog.  Do I stitch so I can have something to show you or do I stitch what I feel like?  I've found that it is a little bit of both.  You encourage me.  So thank you.

I have a finish!  I finished the pin disc from the Passion for Needlework book.  I love it.  I learned a lot about working on the duchess satin.  It is pretty sturdy material.  I don't think it likes being in a hoop.  It was hard to get wrinkles out with ironing.  I mounted it on comic board with batting on it.

I got better as I went along.  I like the little pansy on the back, it looks better than the ones on the front.

  There is a coral stitch around the edge.

 Luckily the pins hide when I goofed.  I've done coral stitch before but I never remember how to do it.  It takes a bit before I get the rhythm of it again.  There is another pin disc pattern in the book that I may try later on.
After doing this project I think I can tackle the Flemish Ornament and just do it my way.
I am lucky enough to have been able to walk outside all week.  Today it was quite slippery.
I've got another finish to show you tomorrow!
