In my part of the world we say you are a fool if your passion for a pursuit overcomes all practical sense. I am a stitching fool, and I stitch foolishness.

Dancing in the Streets!

I have finished the prestitching for the casket class with Betsy Morgan!


You will notice that there are some blank spots. Those are the areas I plan to personalize.  At the moment, I'm torn--family history?  a favorite quote about needlework? a set of fruit or flower motifs (since I'm not so much into the critters)?

The quibblers will say that I am not finished--but the stuff that has to be stitched the way it's designed is stitched. The rest is up to me.

And this is the last obligation stitching I'm planning for a very long time.

(Dearly Beloved and Baby Girl have both said, "Yeah, right." Either they have no faith in my will power or they know me too well.)

  1. Well, I am very impressed that all your stitching is done. I can't wait to see how you personalize it and make it your own. Well done, you!

  2. Well done. This looks like a huge and time consuming project and already you have the "compulsory" stitching done! Congratulations.

  4. I am amazed by the sheer volume of the pre-stitching and have to wonder just what exactly [above and beyond assembly of the casket] is left to do in class.
