I am making progress on this piece for the 'Inspired by' exhibit, which opens in February at the White Lake library here in Michigan. I need to have this and four other projects finished before we leave in December. That's my target! I hate target dates! But, oh well!
I plan on some additional stab stitching in the plain areas but will use thread to match the background. In this case, I don't really want that stitching to stand out so I won't use opposite color threads as I did in the circle/line areas. At least that's my plan! Oh,those darn plans of mine get me in trouble and a lot of 'unsewing'!!
Oh, in between my 'life' I did get the front porch painted a week ago!!! Forgot to post! Was reminded when I read Carol's (Beads and Birds) post this week!
OMGosh! I can't tell you how much I like this piece. Those colors used together always stir excitement in me. I love your front porch. I wish I lived in an area where white looked so pristine. We have a mulch factory near us that stirs up so much dust in the air that we can't keep anything dust free, inside or out.
