Fractal Bookmark Comes Out of Hiding!

I am diligently working on Sarah Braizear's satin stitching, but I do need to switch it up a bit as I can only do this satin stitching for just so long in one day. It is intense with my eyes having to really focus to get it (somewhat) right.

That being said, I pulled out Fractal Bookmark 705 by Cross Stitch Collectibles  yesterday. I haven't worked on it since the end of March, in fact.  It is fun working on this beauty again, and the colors really fascinate me as the design develops.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy World Cross Stitch Day!

More Satin Stitches...

I am still working on the satin stitches. Someday I will be done with them. For now, I am enjoying the process.

At this point it is just the interior satin stitches.  The double satin border will come later.


Finally, the hart has eyes!

Working some on this one too:

And also a bit on this year’s temperature graph- 

Happy also to have cheerful flowers in our backyard.

Thanks for stopping by today.

More Progress on Sarah B

I have been steadily working on Sarah.  All of the motifs are completed, and now it is time to stitch all the satin stitches. And I mean ALL--there are a lot of them scattered throughout the piece. I probably should have done them as I went along instead of waiting until the end.

First I am working on the center parts, last will be the double satin stitch border.

Thanks for stopping by today!
