Slow stitching is appropriate. It feels like it took me *forever* to finish this piece, but finished it is!
I had to take some "staging" pics, too . . .
Heh. So I'm a stitcher, not a photographer. I think one of the reasons I took so much time is that this really was a new style of stitching for me. I'm still not sure if I'd choose to do it again. I like the dimensional aspect of it — but it's all big stitches with six strands of floss ... no delicate stitching for detail. Though I do love the French knots!
On another note, I got a stack of happy in the mail this week:
Meet Moda's Arboretum. Isn't it yummy?!?? I'm thinking I'll use it in Diane Knott's (Butterfly Threads) mystery block of the month quilt!
For today's slow stitching, I think I'll play around with these . . .
Right? I don't know what I'll do with them, but I have the desire to stitch up some hexie-like things, so that's how I'll roll.
Warning. This next photo is not for the feint of heart. Travesty of all travesties.
You can't have nuthin.
Not sure what happened to Mr. Pumpkin, but when you hang with foxes, deer, possums, raccoons and who know what else, this is to be expected. *sigh* ;)
Enjoy the remainder of your Labor Day weekend! We're taking off on the boat with the kids tomorrow to enjoy the day on the lake. Yay!
Linking up to Kathy's Quilts and the Slow Sunday Stitching post!
