Slow Sunday Stitching--see more beauties on Kathy's Quilts blog. She's just starting a cute new stitch.
I finally made myself finish up the last of the surface stitching on this DMC kit--Winter Bouquet is complete at last.
The final areas stitched were the petal lines in the center flower, a few more white details in the blue sprays, and a couple more stems for the bright pink sprays, all in one strand of floss. This stitchery consumed a lot of hours! I haven't made a plan for the finishing as yet.
This first photo was dated April 10, 2022, so it has been a long term stitch. Of course, there were long periods where the project was napping....
Pondering the next project. I have a few kits on hand but none are striking my fancy just now :) We do have a new baby grandson arriving in a couple of months, and a family wedding sometime in the next year. In looking around Pinterest or Instagram, I see other stitchers' works with more reference line stitching than the North/South, East/West that I have always used, and am thinking about that as a help to keep the ripping and re-stitching down to a minimum! Ok, off to the sewing room to work on the last borders for the Plaidish2 quilt.
