I made myself get out of my warm nest this morning, came downstairs, ate my breakfast, and sat down in front of the embroidery hoop.
I now have scallops, made with double strands of passing thread and couched down. The ends have been plunged and sewn down on the back. I feel like I have jumped a major hurdle in getting this finished.
Tomorrow I hope to fill in those gaps in the frame, another majorly fiddly bit. After that, I may have a day of fairly easy stuff to do.
And for those who have asked, the patient is doing well. The after-care directions recommended that he sleep in a recliner.
We do not own a recliner.
Why do people always assume that anyone of AARP age has a recliner? Isn't that ageism?
Wishing your hubby a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching , so pretty.
Hope the patient continues to heal fully. Thanks for the chuckle about the recliner, Ann. We have them, but upgraded one of them back in 2002 to an overwide one (the old one needed replacing anyway). Why is it more expensive to reupholster a chair? Your goldwork piece is looking fabulous.
