What are you stitching this summer?

by MargW <mwhittle@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jun 21, 2008 at 03:24 PM

Let's get back to needlework.

I've got Amy Mitten's Tudor Rose Mystery sampler on the frame.

Wonderful silks (Fibres to Dye For)are used with a little bit of 
metallic and some pailettes.  This is going to take a fair bit of time 
since there is lots of one over one.  It also has lots of blackwork and 
some detached buttonhole stitch which I haven't done before.  I have all 
seven parts of the pattern, so I am not doing them in the original 
sequence (the bottom and then the top, and then a middle band); instead 
  I started at the bottom as suggested, and then I am going to do the 
band immediately above, and so on. This way, I less likely to misscount.

I've done a couple of her "With the Same M.O."  They are a great way to 
practice a specific stitch.

For a break from one over one, I'm going to do Sandy Jenkins' Beehive 
Purse (Stitcher's World, May 2001).  This is the one that I stitched as 
a shop model, and want to do again.  I've bought enough canvas to do a 
couple, so I'm going to adapt an Anchor sampler that was in one of the 
English magazine that has fish, frogs and birds.  These should make 
great Christmas presents for my nieces.

I still haven't found the gold work kit I bought a couple of years ago, 
although I did find (and finish) the stump work kit.

We are off tomorrow to visit my brother, and we are taking some 
daylilies for his garden.  We give each other garden stuff for birthdays 
and Christmas. He gave me lily bulbs for Christmas (they arrived in 
May), and I'm giving him the daylilies.

So what are you up to?
