Progress Report

 Well, I got one more band on The Queen Sampler all but stitched. The grapes are supposed to be filled with spiral trellis stitch. I have to work spiral trellis in hand so I can keep tension on the knot--mainly because I haven't figured out quite how to do that when I have the fabric on a scroll frame. So, I guess when the rest of the sampler is stitched, I'll take it off the scroll frame and fill in those stitches.

Actually, I kind of like the lacy look of this band . . . 

Hmmm . . . 

Not much else has happened in the last few days.

I spent half an hour one morning earlier this week looking for my clip-on magnifiers so I could stitch. They were clipped to my glasses. I was wearing my glasses.

I decided that wasn't going to be a good stitching day.

Then I got both flu and Covid shots yesterday. As my father used to say when he didn't feel quite right,  I was about half a bubble off plumb the rest of the day.

Today I'm up and I've taken my walk, and you would think I would be mostly alert--but I'm seriously thinking about going back to bed. I am retired, after all. I can do what I want when I want to do it, within reason.

Another hmmmmm . . . . .
