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.

And now for something completely different

Bet you thought you were going to see a completed Virgin Queen's Stitching Wallet after this week-end.

Not so much.

I did get the Skirtex basted and linen and silk interfaced and things folded and pinned. I was planning to do the pressing needed before starting the assembly, but The Boot informed me that I needed to sit down and prop up my ankle before I sentenced myself to a longer association with said Boot.

So I did.

And while I was sitting there, I picked up Frances Burwell and finished one of the small dividing bands and started on the next big band:


And I do have the bits for the Virgin Queen corralled for the next time The Boot will allow me to stand for any length of time:


Obviously, I don't have time to get bored.

    It's good that you listen to The Boot. I always enjoy seeing an update on Frances - this band looks interesting. And that looks like real progress on the Virgin Queen wallet - almost to the point of stitching bits together?
