This is my TAST (take a stitch Tuesday) stitch for this week, the motif is from Carol Samples book, “Treasury of Crazy Quilt Stitches” and I’m really pleased with it.
I used basic cotton thread – variegated for the chains in the circles.
I’m open for suggestions on how to embellish that dyed lace butterfly (you can see quite a bit of it here). It seems to me like it needs beads or ribbon or something. Thoughts?
I’ve also been stitching on my sheep (stitching them down to the block) and reading. I’m hoping to have some book reviews posted this week, but it’s been a slow week productivity-wise!
Unfortunately everything was slowed down by a nasty nasty (did I mention nasty) bout of the flu this week that had me literally in bed for 24 hours. I’m SO glad I’m finally shaking it. After 3 days I have a cough and a bit of congestion but at least my head isn’t fuzzy anymore. Does anyone else hate that feeling?
