The heat index is predicted to be 105 today, so Stewey and I are hunkered down with vats of iced tea with lemon. (Pips removed, thankyouverymuch, or SOMEBODY throws a colossal fit).
I've decided that we're going to stitch and watch bad TeeVee for the entire weekend. ( I seem to be obsessed with all things Kardashian as well as old Dateline episodes. Wonder what's up with that?)
Here is the piece that's captured my attention for now. This is Laura J. Perin's Stained Glass Windows done in a pink and brown colorway:
I had completed that second to last block last night but realized that I
had stitched it entirely wrong because I was a) looking at the wrong
page of the chart and b) I had my canvas turned upside down. A few choice swear words later, some reverse stitching, and a little bit of sympathy from You Know Who and all was put right once again.
With all of the drama around here, I think I neglected to show you the end result of my Independence Day piece:
I so enjoyed this one, and now have three projects finished in the red, white, and blue theme. Maybe I should think about getting these framed and up on the wall one of these days?
Coni, your red white and blue finish is incredible! And yes, you need to get them framed and up on the wall. The Stained Glass Windows piece looks fabulous. Sorry you had to reverse stitch! Enjoy your weekend!

Lemon seeds clog up your bendy straw. No wonder Stewey would have fits.

ReplyDeleteGreat finish and lovely progress. I agree seeds are no fun in your iced tea. Hope you both manage to stay cool and comfortable.
ReplyDeleteLove, love both canvases.
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces looking stunning!!!!! I swear counted canvas designs are my favorite to see finished. ALWAYS amazing. Hugs to Stewey!
ReplyDeleteStewey, Stewey...what is going on with that boy...perhaps he is sneaking out in the middle of the night to hit the discos? Hope his toes are better soon...
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is gorgeous Coni, as always, and I just love the colors of both!
Stay cool and enjoy your weekend
Hugs
