The colors are rather dark in the natural light. Those grapes aren’t black I promise!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Here is my progress on Dorcas. Nothing new figured out at this point, just continuing the work! I have the outline of the top acorn band complete. And, a bigger triumph, I got the Montenegrin stitched outline of the floral arcade finished this morning. Those curlicues were really difficult to figure out. They are not perfect by any means. The last 2 are the best and I have to admit some of the others are quite frankly totally made up. But the overall effect is good so that’s all I care about at this point. Can you tell which are the best 2 that I did last? No, I bet you can’t. <\/p>\n\n\n

So what is next? Filling in! Some very straightforward satin stitch (the carnations) The vine is filled I think with 2 rows of closed herringbone (so that will be fun!) And the large flowers are…Parisian stitch? And French knots for the centers. THOSE will take some thought. I am doubting a bit if I can get all the filling stitches done this month. There\u2019s still a lot of work ahead of me.<\/p>\n\n\n
