I spent the day outside on our deck, stitching in the sunshine. I was supposed to be doing finishing work up in my studio, but it was just too nice of a day to stay inside. I'm stitching some pieces that I hope to post to TDIPT on the 15th. As I get them finished I'll try and get pics posted here on my blog.

I recently finished another custom order. This time for a "Bloom" pinkeep. The customer wanted something with more of a summery feel, so I used a light greenish overdyed wool and some taupe colored ric rac for the finish. I got the wool from Ram in the Thicket. Susan, the owner, has the most amazing array of colors and a whole section dedicated to just primitive colors. How great is that?
Well, I was very happy with the way it came out and hope she likes it just as much.
Enjoy the day and Happy Stitching.
