BACK IN THE BRIGHT PINK SADDLE

After only a few minutes up in the studio, I came down with this:

This is Orchid Maze from Ada Haydon and Susan Alanson.

I'm not sure how long it's been since I started this one, but I think it's been quite a while.  Think I can finish it this weekend?

The sun is shining, the birds are sweetly tweeting, and the boys are (blissfully) sacked out in front of the  patio window catching occasional glimpses of the squirrels at the bird feeder.  After a few chores and a wardrobe change, I'm heading to the Happy Chair for a little stitch therapy.

How is it in your neck of the woods?

  1. It's a gray day here in southern Maine. Four sleeping cats are spread throughout the house, providing beauty, their primary role. I plan to stitch the least favorite part of every sampler for me - the name of the recipients. The spacing is always tough for me.

  2. I can't wait to see this finished. When you first started it, I loved it! Hot and sunny predicted for the weekend on Vancouver Island.

  4. Have you noticed your piece looks like 2 Angry Birds having a staredown?!? Funny! River Festival starts today so not much stitching will happen around here for the next week or so. I'll keep checking in to keep up with your progress. Happy Weekend!

    1. It does! I'd be tempted to stop right there and frame those birds!

  5. Looks interesting. Today our temps are on the rise. Right now at 3pm it is 110 so inside with air conditioning and some stitching.

  6. I admire your courage/smarts/insightful action in dipping into your WIP to finish projects. My longest time from start to finish was 17 1/2 years. It's a beautiful Teresa Wentzler piece. So keep that dark piece - it's young yet!

  9. My neck of the woods is better after reading the last few days writings. Before it was exhausted from driving from Georgetown, TX to Kansas. Thanks, more than I can say

  10. Today it started out sunny and in the 80s, that all changed as the day turned to evening and the rain clouds rolled in. The best thing is it's Friday!

  12. Oh Happy Day!! It was a long time ago that you first started this piece, and I have been waiting patiently ever since for it to reappear! When I saw that you have been pulling out some older pieces lately I began to hope and YAY, here it is! And yes, it is still quite a thrill to see one of my designs on your blog!! Hope you have lots of fun with it!!
