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.
