Just Peachy

My third fruit is back from the finisher - my peach.  It went all the way to Antarctica and back again.

Have a wonderful Mother's Day🌷🌷

Baseball Diamond Apple

Hi there,

I did this last night and today while watching the soap opera that is our government on CNN.  Much better than the Young and the Restless.

I had better slow down or I will be back to the red and white stripes by the end of the week.

Enough With the Background Already

Hi there,

I find it very hard to stay on task especially when I have something that looks like lots of fun right in front of me.  That would be the 4th Apple!

So I spent 2 days working on the background stripes and THANKING HEAVEN that I have finished the border.  TWICE!!  FYI, those little red beads in the red stripes are a pill to put in.

I did work one leaf just so I would know how..  Still have the backstitch to do.

And here is J - I am also thankful that July only has 4 letters!  Meaning, I may finish this in 2017!  Yes, I still have the pumpkin parade to finish 👻

So the new plan is to work the next apple and return to the background.  It's nice having 2 months to do your homework.

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Derby Day

Happy Saturday,

Apple No. 3 is done except for the letter - that's next week along with the background up to 

apple No. 4!  So far so good!  Enjoy the Kentucky Derby!

Doing the Amy Two Step

No it's not a dance!  It's apple number 3


Step one was the starbursts and to make sure they line up correctly.

Step two was the red background.  This was broken down into 2 steps too.  I used all different methods of laying my thread.  My finger, a needle, my trolley needle, and my BLT.   I love using the trolley needle but the BLT REALLY separates the threads giving better coverage.  I'm just not that comfortable holding it.  I guess I need some more practice.

Tonight I will tackle the white diamonds - just finished ironing my neon rays!

Linda

Yay! I'm Finished!

Happy Sunday,

Don't you think that's what she's shouting?

Here's no. 9 of the 12 days of Christmas...meaning...only 3 more to go in this set!  She looks a little crooked but that's because I probably should have taken the photo while the canvas was still on stretcher bars.  

Nine Ladies Dancing

Back to 4th of July apples :-)

Miss Mouse

Hi all,

I just finished my Autumn Mouse, known as Miss Mouse around here.  It's amazing how these little WIPs can get done in a few days.

She will be paired up with Mr. Squirrel which was finished last year - he's been waiting a while for this date!  I've already got the next WIP lined up :-)

Have a great week

Linda
