I would say I am 3/4ths of the way through the main stitching and then on to the pulled threads and the border. I am less fearful since I read the instructions for pulling the threads and they are pretty good.
I will need to pick up some charms when I am at my retreat at the end of the month. I am sure I HAD them but equally as sure they found themselves attached to other projects that came along.
As for quilting progress......last night we cut all the inner borders, outer borders and bindings. Why is it so much easier and more fun to do it with someone else? I stitched all the border sections and binding sections into three longer pieces while DD#1 had the tedious job of tucking and hiding the threads on the back side. Still hopeful I will have some quilting progress to share before the weekend is over.
And now for our Sunday morning moment of nature. Today has dawned a beautiful day as was indicated by our sunset last night. I know we are in a storm watch with Hermine but it is hard to believe after this sunset and with today's blue skies..........
The sky was on fire!
Happy stitching all and stay safe if you are in the storm's path......
Gorgeous sunset! Your Drawn Thread WIP is looking good.
ReplyDeleteHi Robin: Love the sunset photos so very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI have done pulled threads in the past I was so frightened that I almost put the piece away, I finally read the directions and had no problems.
Love the Drawn Thread Sampler so lovely.
Blessings
