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.
