IT'S FINISHED!


July was a productive month! I FINALLY, FINALLY finished stitching this piece taught by Tony Minieri at a Chicago ANG workshop three years ago. Still not happy with the clouds, but they're the best I could do.

In July I also finished the Heart-to-Heart design of the four red and gold dresses on black Congress cloth, a Christmas ornament, and put the finishing touches on two other projects.

Now I can get busy on a new piece called Ribbons of Hope, finish an ornament that's been in the works for a few months, and look for new projects. I'm declaring some UFO's NTBD's (never to be dones), which eases the guilt over what's left.

For interestins skies - go see Anne Stradal's needle blending at The Caper Stitcher - it's amazing and simple. She "shades" the sky from dark at the top to light at the horizon on her lighthouses. Your work is looking good!!

LOL I'm tired right now - disregard the typo on "interesting." Also, Anne is The Cape Stitcher. I did a bad one on that too.
