Finished summer garden.

Here's the finished summer garden drawn thread piece.  It has yet to be pressed.

And this is the rather humble beginnings to rosebud trellis.

Brief update

Some quick notes. My son's Teddy needed some repair. So out came mom - stuffed animal vet.

Teddy's Stitches

In more "fine needlework" news I finished my drawn thread piece for EGA and promptly started another. The photo is the first piece just before I finished it. 

Summer Garden - almost completed

The good thing about the flu

One has plenty of time to rest and stitch.

April round up

Time for some catch up. I was down at my mom's for spring break and snapped some things I had stitched long ago that are at her house.

Hummingbird at fuchsia. I think this is from 2005

Violets. I think this is from 2001.

Now on to current stuff. While I was on vacation I finished my Shepherds Bush sheep

Made progress on the needle book from my Ellen Chester class

I started a bookmark for the EGA boutique.

And I started a project from my EGA guild. I have missed both meetings for it. One due to snow and the other because of work.

So that sums it up for now.

March retreat.

  Every spring I try and make it to the stitching retreat hosted by my aunts guild. I missed last year, and was thrilled to go this year. I got great stitching done

I got all the little parts done from the hillside. 

I completed all the brown colored bands so I could start on the colored parts.  It made such a difference in how I felt about the piece.
