A Finish and a start and an ARRRGHHHH!
The finish:
On Feb. 4 I finally, Finally, *FINALLY* have finished stitching the infamous Nativity set!!!! (Well, with one caveat: there are supposed to be tassels on the camels' bridles but I won't make those until after I have the interfacing on, since it would be quite difficult to iron the camels with those attached.) I have washed and ironed the pieces and they're now waiting for the iron-on interfacing and sewing together, stuffing, etc. The start: Next I was going to work on Florentine dreams ( http://www.nordicneedle.com/prod/1038D.html ), which I got from DSIL for Christmas but found that the canvas I had was a bit short. I will deal with that later. So, instead of FD, I dug out a pattern and supplies I bought at NN a year or so ago. http://cindyvalentine.com/box_inserts/mysweetheart.htm I finished all the kloster blocks, narrow border, the tulips (which a coworker in the SCA told me are really Nordic ships) and the satin- stitched hearts. I started on the Smyrna stitches inside the hearts and got around 2 sides. Got to the 3rd side and realized I had stitched 3 of the 4 sides of hearts one thread in too far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ARGH: I pulled out the Smyrna stitches and I'm currently in the process of removing the hearts when it dawns on me: I HAD the Smyrna stitches in the correct spot and wouldn't have had to remove those!!!! AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! Joan |
