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.

One down, two to go

The first "chamber" on this band is complete!


I had to use a sharp needle to work the satin over the double running stitch outlines, but I am happy to say that I have left no DNA behind.

I realize that I have now jinxed myself and will stab myself with my needle repeatedly and painfully throughout the rest of the band.

      This is Frances Burwell, reproduced by The Examplarery from a sample in the Colonial Williamsburg collection.
