<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nI got the kit a while ago, and last summer I found the oval box for it. It\u2019s time to make it up! I love using the Thread Gatherer silks. I do not love stitching over one (on 28 count) but like everything once you get a rhythm it\u2019s ok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My other project this month is my focus on a finish choice, The Drawn Thread\u2019s Sampler of Stitches. Here I am sweltering as I stitch outside, it\u2019s 110 out, while the kids swim this evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have 2 of the 9 sections left to complete. It\u2019s time to get it done! I\u2019ve been working on PQR. It\u2019s almost complete. I\u2019ll move right along to Y and Z, maybe even before I finish PQR if I don\u2019t want to work on fancy stitches. There is a lot of plain cross stitch in the last section and that seems to go so quickly when you\u2019re mixing it with the fussy specialty stitches. I hope to have it completed in mid August. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" July got off to a wacky start with several one night stands with a variety of projects but I have finally settled down to my main stitches of the month.
