I've been lured into stumpwork in the last few years. I'm not very good at it, but practice makes perfect I am told, and I plan to do a lot of practice.
And this is one thing to help do that. I hope.
Another Inspirations kit--oh my, isn't it beautiful? Roses are my favorite flower despite the fact that they're prickly and subject to all sorts of issues and as I have a black thumb, I have never attempted to grow them--but maybe I can stitch one. I'm going to make a valiant effort.
In other news: you may remember this is the year I was going to work on projects I had started from my stash.
And then I got Tricia Nguyen's Thistle Threads newsletter this morning.
She is offering new classes this year.
Classes that I want to take.
I am doomed
So beautiful , you must stitch this one , I love it .
ReplyDeleteInspirations kits are always so lovely, I have three in my sewing room waiting to be started.
ReplyDeleteI wasn's aware Thistle Threads was still ongoing! I'll be checking that out soon as I love Tricia's classes and projects. I started the Glittering Gentleman's Nightcap several years ago, then shattered my shoulder joint and couldn't stitch for nearly a year. I've been thinking about it a lot lately, so may be picking it up soon.
Your work is always lovely.

Thank you! Yes, Thistle Threads is still going strong. Actually, Tricia has started a Flosstube, Travels with Tricia, and she talked about the plans for 2024. She also has some ongoing online classes that are wonderful. Glad your shoulder healed and you can stitch again!
