Part 7 Finish

I received Part 7 to the Needle's Nest 25th Anniversary Sampler yesterday, so I had to sit down to day and stitch it!  Only 2 more parts to go!

WIP Wednesday 7-15-2020

 First up is Fine Wine.  I have done the left arm twice, and the left hand three times!  Since these are being stitched over 1, frogging is a pain!
I also worked on All American Frame Weight by Margaret Bendig.

WIP Wednesday, 7-8-2020

It's Wednesday again!  So here is what I am working on now.  I have pulled out Fine Wine again and making progress, even though it is slow progress.  Why?  Well, I am stitching the skin (arms and face) and my brilliant plan was to stitch the skin "over one".  (someone shoot me the next time I have a brilliant plan!)

So in place of every charted stitch, I am doing 4 stitches......and it is taking a long time.  But...I am almost done with the skin, so things should move faster after that!

Second Finish this Month

Clover of Clovers by Bent Creek.

This is done over two fabric threads on 18 count linen, with #5 Perle cotton.  A fun and quick stitch!

SOTH - July finished!

 The July section was released on July 1st, so I sat right down and stitched it!  It went fairly quickly, but I am impatient for the August section so the star can be finished, and I want the stitches for the background, too.....I hate waiting
Here is the entire piece so far!
