June stitching update
A long overdue peek at the ort jar, where one can find the soft pastels from Shepherd’s Bush and The Drawn Thread, cheery brights from Just Nan, creamy white silk from Victoria Sampler and rich silks and metallics from Châtelaine Designs.
Speaking of Châtelaine, all the Japanese Octagon Box pieces are stitched! Here’s the box lid piece.
Now I need to finish the box … deep breaths … I can do this, I think …
I’ve also started Morning Glory by The Drawn Thread. The silks are so pretty, and all the backstitched vines will keep me busy for some time.
This is what the morning glories look like in my yard: definitely not tidy little blue Jessica stitches.
After one of the darkest, coldest Junes on record, we are finally starting to see a little sunshine, and we’ve even had a couple of days above 70°F. No sweltering summer days here, at least not yet!
