Back to Blogging and Manifesto!

I'm back...finally!

I am thrilled to be back stitching on Scarlet Letter's Manifesto!  I have worked on it the last two Sundays.  This is a Sunday only project.  I tend to watch NASCAR  and/or football depending on the time of the year!  With the Texas Motor Speedway race delayed/postoned due to rain, I was forced to  watch reruns of NCIS-Los Angeles.

I was able to get some signifcant number of stitches in and I was able to finally get to that begging dog!


I have also been working on some prim and club projects, too! Below is Nan Lewis' (Threadwork Primitives) "Down Virginia Way".  I am going to stitch this into a mattress picushion!



And lastly, I received and stiched up Dyeing to Stitch's Colonial Gathing Club Piece #2 from The Scarlett House (Tanya Brockmeyer):


I am having so much fun!  What have y'all been up to?

Happy Stitches,

-Holly

Everything is gorgeous! Just wonderful! I so need to get back to Manifesto. Sigh. So did you finish the huge model stitching you were doing?? :D

Margaret, I wish I could say I did finish that big model stitch, but I had to return it incomplete (2/3's done). I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and the over one in-hand stitching was going rather too slow for my taste.. I didn't want to hold up the project. So, Margriet was able to find another model stitcher to complete the rest of it. I can to Manifesto quite well because it is on my Lowery Stand and I can do two hand stitching. So, it is back to my regular routine:)
