Work In Progress Wednesday and Blackwork at Mr. Donut
Knot Garden progress
The Tale of Genji progress - the outlining/backstitching is slow, but I am making progress.
Waste not Want not - I had this 2 1/2 inch wide fabric left over from something else. After I stitch all of the fabric, I will cut the motifs apart and make the little pieces into fobs or ornaments.
On Friday afternoon, I met with Toki (who blogs at 私がめがねをかけるとき) and her husband (he and I used to work at the same place) at the local Mr. Donut. We talked and drank coffee (no donuts consumed) while Toki and I worked on blackwork hearts and her husband was quality control, making sure there were no stray stitches. Really, it was good to see them both.
This is what our hearts looked like when we parted ways - - -
That's a smart way to use up a 'frame' of scrap fabric. How nice to meet students and their family members whom you haven't seen in some time. Did you actually stitch the entire heart at Mr Donuts? How long were you there and how many cups of coffee did you drink?
