Thanks to Wendy there is another Friday night to sew with the international girls!
As usual I stitched on both Thursday and Friday evenings-cause, time zones.
On Thursday I worked at back-stitching on this
I had to change to the top of the chart!
Another few days and the backstitching will be finished,
then it will be just his name and the beads.
I confess, I cannot make a French knot.
Well, I CAN but it won't stay.
So, long ago I began using seed beads instead.
I heard about a different knot which I'm going to try but not on stockings.
Then, Friday I worked on that math mosaic-sorry no photos.
Progress, I suppose.
I'm beginning to think I should have done this as a cross-stitch piece.
Earlier in the week I finished with these
This months flipflop blocks and
A pink placemat.
Well in real life it's pink!
Since I finished all those outside projects I'm sort at loose ends.
No focus,
probably because I don't have any more big projects!
I'll get back with it soon!
The backstitch on the stocking does look great and you've make lots of pink flip flops.
ReplyDeleteI often find photos don't always show true colour..
Those are nice projects. I like the stitchery very much.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is amazing, you must have a lot of patience. Well done.
ReplyDeleteFrench knots evade me as well. I used to substitute a candlewick knot. Gorgeous cross-stitch. A real heirloom piece. Good progress on your quilt blocks.
ReplyDeleteThe stocking is going to be so gorgeous when done - it looks fabulous now and the seed beads will finish it off beautifully! Great looking pink blocks too - they must have put a dent in your stash.
ReplyDeleteYour Friday nights look to have been very profitable - great work on your back stitching and the pink. I love French knots, dont seem to have a problem with them - it helps if you are working in a frame - then you can use both hands. I also love colonial knots. xx
