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.

Hot off the Hoop

 When you have three Zoom stitch-ins in one weekend, plus an online lecture . . .

And when your relatively small project uses relatively thick threads and large stitches that cover a lot of ground . . .

And when you have two weeks of pent-up desire for a threaded needle percolating through your system . . . 

You have a finish.

This is one of Tanya Bentham's Bayeux Stitch dragons from a class taken with the Oatlands Chapter of EGA.

And all the stitch-ins this weekend were sponsored by EGA in one way or another. I had the Carolinas Region stitch-in on Saturday morning, the Surface Embroidery stitch-in offered nation-wide Saturday afternoon, and the Mid-Atlantic Region stitch-in on Sunday afternoon. As traumatic as the isolation caused by Covid was, meeting via Zoom created many opportunities to spend time with other stitchers.

Always a silver lining. Now if I could figure out what the silver lining for a damaged wrist could be . . .

  1. What a beautiful finish, Ann! Well done! While it isn't small stitches and silky goodness, a finish is a finish. Plus you were able to ply your needle with thread while visiting online with fellow stitchers.
