binding Tavern Blues June 2018 Tavern Blues  simply would not be ignored: it taunted me every time I passed the crumpled mass on the sofa. On Saturday, I finally bit the bullet and began hand stitching the binding. I listened to High Profile (a Jesse Stone novel) by Robert B. Parker as the needle slowly inched its way around the quilt. turning the last corner Tavern Blues completed June 2018 Tavern Blues is now officially finished.

Year of Stitches challenge February 2017 It's a work in progress. . . earlier posts can be seen here

Year of Stitches I don't work on this project as frequently as the original challenge requires, but I'm progressing at my own speed. After the blue stitches were added ( shown in this earlier post ), I saw an "H" and an idea quickly came to mind. I like where this small piece is headed. I have a lot of DMC floss on hand, so that's what I'm using for this Year of Stitches project.

beginning a Year of Stitches January 21, 2017 While I currently have enough projects and potential projects to keep me busy for decades, I took on a challenge at the February Fiber Guild meeting. Vicky B. presented a program on embroidery and the Year of Stitches project. I haven't embroidered in years, but it quickly came back to me. The concept is to work on an improvised design a little each day. I started with the pink and light green swoops in the upper left at the meeting. Saturday evening and Sunday, the other stitching was added. I had no idea what I was creating, but once the feather stitch in the middle was added, an idea popped into my head. I'll occasionally post my progress.
