Here is what I will be working on until we start stitching Striha Cal-dron. This is one of those projects that you can visit anytime for some nice basketweave stitching. Amy has suggested a stitch for me to use in the green background. I am almost finished with the pears, (with Vineyard Silk). Then on to the leaves. I haven't decided if I will use a special stitch on the leaves. I will probably use stranded silk.
Isn't it fun to look at a canvas and say...I will use silk here, wool there, ribbons here and perle there. The longer we stitch the more creative we get. Then sometimes there is a canvas that is just for relaxation and basketweave is the stitch of choice. And why is it we, (I), have several canvases that could be finished in just a few hours, yet I will turn to a new one, or even another one that is "in progress". We had this discussion today in the shop with several customers. It is like we can't say good-by. Or we don't want to make a finishing plan.
Who knows!
Keep stitching.
