Well, I'm continuing to lay out the pattern lines for the stitching on this. I'm really pleased with how all of it is grouping together into larger and larger forms. This should be a lot of fun to stitch.
still a lot of work to do.
I'm also really happy with the colors

Working on some Or Nué at the demo.
There is progress on the vest! I like how the pearls are working on this. I'm using size 15 beading needles for the little 2mm freshwater pearls. and for the rest of the embroidery, I'm mostly using size 12 quilting needles. It's a lot of fun.
This weekend I started a largish piece of lace for a large project. The spine of the lace is nearly done.
I prefer to work on 2 or 3 projects at the same time. That way, if I get stuck I have something else to work on, while I figure out a solution.
Happy stitching!
The edging on the lace is moving along, slowly but surely. When this is done, I'll start on the inner petals.
Well, it's coming along nicely. I should have the first layer of lace done tonight. Tomorrow, I'll post how I remove it from the plastic backing.
I'm working on lace for a new series of brooches and pendants. I'll post more tomorrow.
