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.

Spring Green

 It's getting green outside my door, and it's pretty green in my stitching corner at the moment.

Yesterday I filled in the leaves and stems on the Spot Sampler:

Most of the motifs on this sampler are worked in tent stitch over one--and that's why it's probably gonna take me a couple of years to stitch. That doesn't include the detached elements for some of the motifs. 

Can we say labor-intensive?

Today I finished the outline for the twining vine on the Queen Sampler:

The inner sections of the vine will be filled in, but I think I'm going to work the big flowers on either side of the center first.

They're worked in Queen stitch. I do not believe I have worked a Queen stitch since I finished RST last year.

Hopefully I have recovered from that trauma by now!
