On vacation

Some nice quiet time on vacation is hard to come by with two little boys. They are off tossing rocks into the lake with Dad and I got to hang back and stitch!

I finished up my button for my EGA guild's needlework show this fall while listening to the water lap the shore.

Bookmarks completed

I finished a couple of bookmarks I made from the extra fabric I had left from my biscornu. I'll send these to the guild boutique at our Needlework Show this fall.

Two new bookmarks.  Assisi Stitch.

Darker Colors, Hem stitch edge

Lighter colors, Four-sided stitch for edge

Might not be too much different from last month as I haven't been stitching much lately.

Biscornu with Needle Darning and Blackwork

Yeah!  I finished my needle darning biscornu last week.  It's really darling.

The bookmarks are coming along.  I needed a refresher in hem stitching first!  I am really liking my left handed embroidery book. The directions are so great.
