I have now been retired for a few
weeks and have been able to make some steady progress on some stitching.
I made several hardanger bookmarks while
accompanying Errol on his big ride in July and have given some of these to
members of my work team as a parting gift.
I have recently completed a small New
Zealand scene and made it up as a scissor fob for some NZ scissors I was given.
I am working on a very old UFO (Sue Hillis’ chart of Warning) in the afternoons and am pleased with how it is progressing. I discovered that taking photos of it after each days stitching is quite an incentive as the changes are quite noticeable. The original design was much larger than I wanted so I started again on the same fabric working with one strand over one thread - on 36 count fabric which is why it is taking so long and proving so challenging. The first photo shows how it had been left for the last few years.
In the evenings I am now working on one of the Victoria Sampler charts, Heirloom Nativity, and am encouraged by how quickly it is growing.
