Stitch Group Sunday
We met on Sunday and three stitchers had “show and tell” with their finished Hawaiian projects - two cushions and a wall hanging.
This one has a zipper back.
This one has a fold over flap.
The wall hanging has a sleeve on the back.
All three are fabulous. I think we will see the other cushion next time.
We started a new blackwork project - Box of Delights by designer Elizabeth Almond. I had already stitched this design and made it into a pillow, so I am starting a different Elizabeth Almond design.
First, everyone looked at the patterns and chose which designs. My finished pillow is on the end of the table.
Let the stitching begin!

You're lucky -- you have your own art camp regularly! I love your blackwork pillow!
Blackwork is always impressive, and the colourful version you have on your cushion gives a new look to this traditional style.
I have worked one piece of Blackwork (a kit from Hampton Court), and I strained my eyes because the stitches were so tiny and the thread so thin at times I thought it was invisible!
If I were a member of your stitch group, I would opt for a low-count piece of fabric and large stitches!
Your members are remarkable - they never shy away from a challenge.
Greetings Pamela: The finished Hawaiian designs are lovely, the new stitch design looks lovely also.
Looking forward to seeing everyone's progress.
The treats look yummy.

The finished Hawaiian projects look great. I love blackwork so looking forward to seeing what they come up with. xx
Oh, can't wait to see what your stitchers will make of this pattern! Their finished Hawaiian projects look awesome!
