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.

Sunday Stitching

 It's been a gray and gloomy day, so I spent it with needle in hand.

I have stitched all the little tiny bits and pieces we went over in class for the Cherished Letter Case. There are more little tiny bits and pieces that will be stitched in filament silk, but I've done all the ones I needed to before Wednesday's class. I still need to attach spangles in each of the four corners, but I do believe that will be something to tackle in the morning.

And there are a few more rows of Queen stitches on the knot garden on RST1779.

I'd love to say I'll have it done before I go to bed tonight, but I keep forgetting--or denying--just how long Queen stitches take. At least I'll have more done than I have now. 

The next motif after this one is a honking big rectangle, solidly stitched. Those patterns are very pretty, but  also very labor intensive. I've been trying to figure out the best way to work it the most efficient way. I am not sure there is a most efficient way, other than just yanking up the Granny panties and getting it done.

So I'll be yanking away.

That's a lovely image to leave you with . . .
