Finishes During this Time at Home

I have had some finishes lately, starting out with one of them today. 

It seems trite to speak of stitching at a trying, sad time like this across the country and globe, but nonetheless I will do so today. 

I started this tea towel in the end of February. I bought the kit at a store in Los Angeles called French General.  The pattern consists entirely of french knots and lazy daisy stitches. I was able to finish it in a month, although naturally I did not work on it daily. 

For the first time ever, I  used Cosmo thread. I loved how it glided so nicely.  I could see early on that I would run out of one of the pink colors.  At the time, I was researching where to buy more of the Cosmo thread. 

Down the line, our 'shelter at home' order was in place and having to have a matching color seemed less important and very trivial.  Thus I finished it off with some variegated pink that I already had at home.

I have had two other finishes in the past few weeks, but I will save those for a future post.

Thanks for stopping by today, and please take care of yourself and yours.

My Latest WIPs

It has been a fairly productive stitching month. Here are some updates of most of the things I have stitched upon lately. 

I have been working on Sarah Braizear 1829. Wow, she is a big one. I started this piece almost two years ago.  I hope to finish it this year, but who knows?





I have also been plugging away on Fractal Bookmark 705. I started this one on January 1 and am stitching it on 28 count over one.  I love how this looks, but it is slow going as there is a lot of confetti stitching.






I started a Summer Tea Towel from a kit I purchased at French General back in 2018.  I love how this is looking, and I will finish it sometime soon.  Lots of lazy daisies and french knots...no other stitches are required.  This is my first time using Cosmo Embroidery Thread.  I may need to order more thread before this one is done! 





Thanks for stopping by today.
