This past week\/weekend I attended (and worked and worked and worked!) at The Attic’s Summer School. I have never been an attendee before and it was just amazing. <\/p>\n\n\n

First time Summer Schoolers, I (in navy) am kneeling second from the right of Jean who is wearing red in the center.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We were so busy in the shop all week and the actual event was Friday evening through Sunday noon. There were 6 wonderful projects from Vickie and Maegan Jennett (Needlework Press), Brenden and Karen Kirk (Fox and Rabbit), Linda Danielson (Samplers Remembered), Linda Vinson (Needlemade Designs) Katie Strachan, and Nancy Mills (Five Times Blessed). Here are the models of the projects…<\/p>\n\n\n

I started one of the projects\u2026the little bird pinwheel that came from Fox and Rabbit. I\u2019ll show you next time. For now I have to say, for my first Summer School I really hit the jackpot in terms of the selection of projects. They all appeal to me! I only picked the bird because that seemed to have the lowest bar for starting, finished, and FFO’ing in a timely manner. I am still loyal to Dorcas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was so loyal to Dorcas I stitched on her all weekend and made a ton of progress: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • I finished the floral arcade by adding the little leaves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • I finished the outline of the acorn bands and filled in half the leaves with satin stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • I put in the first 2 words of the verse in order to get down to an easy cross stitch band.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • And I got that budded vine band laid in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"
    A slightly closer view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    In the last 10 days of this month I would really love to get these partial bands further along but I don’t think there is time to complete them all unfortunately. What is left…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Satin stitch the other oak leaves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Satin stitch the acorns “bulbs”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Detached buttonhole stitch the acorn caps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Eyelet over one verse<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Add the buds to the vine (cross stitch but many color changes…3 colors on each stem, 3 on each bud, in 2 alternating colors ways.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Goal: finish half the above list. Half of each item, half of the items, a mix of both. If I get a bit ore than half done I’ll be very happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      One last picture\u2026.Here are Jean and I. She celebrated her 80th birthday last week. What an amazing lady. I am glad to know her!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
