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.

No longer straying

I have been restless for several days. So restless, in fact, that  (gasp) I betrayed Mary Atwood Sunday evening and put a few stitches in another sampler.

The other sampler was alluring for several reasons, and I almost became completely faithless, thinking I would just put Mary A aside for a bit.

Then I was putting the charts and threads back into their box when my eye caught the framework for the next band. And suddenly, I saw the most logical, easiest, and best pathway to work the diagonal reversible cross. Fearing that this brilliant discovery would vanish from my feeble brain if I didn't do a stitch or two, I took Mary A out of her pillowcase, threaded up a needle, and got the framework started.


And now that I've started, I may as well finish this band. And that leaves only two major bands and I'll have another finish. I believe I'm going back to Mary A.

    Oh my, you make me laugh! But that's because I relate completely. When I see a good "path" on Jane Turner's double running stitch, it doesn't matter what the clock says, I need to work through it, Right Away!

    Congrats on finding the Best Path for this band.
