. . .like that contemporary, neon-threaded biscornu I have been working on recently.
I took advantage of some evening sewing time to sew the two blackwork squares together, stuffed with wool batting scraps.
It's different! And fun! . . . I like!
Couple weeks ago, I showed some projects I was finishing up during a little personal sewing retreat.
This cross stitch image of Mount Vernon was just about done, at that point. Now, it's a couple steps further along.
Layered and quilted. The binding it attached and just needs to be secured to the back by hand.
I added two small sleeves on the back for hanging. I'm not sure where this will go, but I'd like to put a small wooden dowel through the finished sleeves, then hang it from a single nail in the middle of the piece.
As long as I was making such good progress finishing things, I decided to treat myself to a new cross stitch project. This one is an image of a single daisy from a recent cross stitch periodical.
Who knew that there were so many different variations of white? I have stitched maybe 4 or 5 different whites so far. They all look pretty close to me!
As the summer winds down, I hope you are finding some time to let your heart sing with something pretty to stitch!
Happy Stitching!
Joan
