Stitching Progress
Friday, April 10, 2009 at 01:20PM This last week I have been busy getting ready for the last pilot class. for this year....Flower Diamonds.....so lots to do. The instruction book is close to being finished and the kits are almost complete.....just waiting for one more item. (there is always one!). The canvases are usually the last thing to complete. The way they are marked has to a lot to do with how the instructions are written. Everything must, hopefully, work together and make sense., both in class, and after students get home. But anyway, the kit box should be ready to mail early this next week.
But, that is what has been going on in the daytime. Most evenings I have been stitching on Mediterranean Squares so it will be finished by May 1st. Since I last posted an update I've add some small squares along the left side, completed several partially worked squares, and started the large square at the lower left. That leaves two main squares to add and other smaller items. Even though I have sketches done and threads in mind, things still need changing as stitching progresses. In classes students ask about the development of the design. I always answer it takes a bit of re-stitching, and this has been no exception. During this last week I have changed threads at least three or four times.....either the color and/or texture of thread.
I'll post one more update before the "finished photo". Here's hoping each of you are finding time to get lots of stitching done.
Happy Easter!

I like Mediterranean Squares more each time I see it - so much color! It reminds me of Morocco - golds of the sands, reds for the rugs and blankets, blues and greens for the Atlantic ocean and Mediterranean Sea.
And I'm looking forward to Flower Diamonds arriving next week. Hard for me to concentrate on my own designs when I have yours to look forward to.
