The Stitch Group met on Sunday, the first time in about three months. (The number of new covid-19 cases in Japan has really gone down and we feel much safer. I think this is due to the rapidly rising number of people who are fully vaccinated, but that is a topic for another day.)
First, Show and Tell
Mola Turtle pillows, both backed with the same fabric.
The kimono fabric that lines both of these comes from the sleeves of the maker's Coming of Age Kimono.
One of our members was very busy with cross stitch.
Mola
Eyelet and rhodes stitch button on stretchy band to hold the calendar page.
This is a mirror covered with the band sampler.
This is such a creative group!
The project for the day was the hair on the stumpwork portraits that we started last time.
What do you think? The hair makes such a difference.
Tea Time
Here is my "Shirley", with her double chin.
I am already looking forward to next time!

Your Mola Pillows are adorable as are all the beautiful projects.

What an interesting array of projects. I love the expression on Shirley's face!
Wonderful! It is great that you could catch up in person again, and see what everyone has been doing while you couldn't meet.
The hair of the portraits brings them to life beautifully. What personality they all have!
Lots of creativity here and isn't it nice to meet up again in person. It's a great feeling to see cases drop so dramatically in Tokyo. I love the stump work portraits. They are so whimsical.
Such a talented group and some beautiful work there. The ladies are such fun. xx
Everyone in the Stitch group always makes wonderful works.
Beautiful and cute.
The portrait of the stump made by the members of the Stitch group is also wonderful.
What kind of woman is Shirley?
I feel familiar with her double chin.
I'm so glad you could gather with your group again. Times like that mean a great deal -- even more after the past year or two.
Wonderful work all around. Within these three months that you have not been able to meet a lot of projects have been completed. I love the eyelet button, the Molas and band samplers. The cross stitch is so neat.
Charming stumpwork portraits. I am happy to see your Shirley has an open mouth. What is she saying?
Your crafting ladies are all very much coming after you in terms of creativity and repurposing pretty things!
All the works are wonderful. The eyelet pieces are lovely. So happy that you could gather together and stitch along. The hair in each portraits are unique. Lovely group.
