Or how nigh these pinkish together with ruby variegated threads?
Or this green...like the greenish leaves on the 2 dozen roses you'll larn from your sweety. (Yeah, right.)
Actually, I exclusively wanted this 1 coloring of thread, which I'm calling Smitty gray. But when I went to the Connecting Threads website, they offered me these cute lilliputian embroidery pair of scissors for FREE, FREE, FREE if I would exclusively pass $30 on their site.
They're cute, huh? Let's simply ignore that I would create got spent less if I'd simply paid for the pair of scissors without buying all that thread. As it is, I create got the thread AND the scissors, together with who with us tin give the axe transcend upward a freebie? Am I correct nigh that? Show of hands, please.
Smitty together with I quilted the twenty-four hr catamenia away. What would I practise without his helpful suggestions? Also, he helps me to dull downward equally I'm stitching.
Except for the setting triangles, the middle panel is finished now.
Here's a closer persuasion of it.
The stuff on the dorsum is busy plenty that yous can't encounter much there. That's simply fine with me.
For today's effort, I create got about ideas nigh the setting triangles if I tin give the axe describe it off. I'll country yous nigh that inward my side past times side post. It'll move easier to present than it is to explain.
On the slow-stitching front, I stitched the newest inchy...with ears.
And I filled the hoop on Friendship's Garden. This is the most densely stitched business office of the block.
Now I've moved my hoop to the right, together with I'll starting fourth dimension at that topographic point tomorrow. The residuum should sew together upward pretty fast.
In add-on to quilting, I'm doing about cooking today. Mike together with I had a fancy dinner out simply nigh ten days ago, together with we're going to about other fancy dinner weekend afterwards next. With that inward mind, we're staying inward this Valentine's Day, together with I'm making us a fancy dinner at home. It's something I've made before...a Sea Scallop Risotto. The scallops are seared together with served over about risotto with a Newburg sauce together with about steamed vegetables. Also, I'm trying a novel recipe for dessert, Warm Carrot Cakes with Cream Cheese Sauce for Two. Hopefully, it volition all plow out. Of course, I volition study dorsum tomorrow.
So I promise yous create got a happy day, withal yous excogitation to pass it. Happy Valentine's Day, everybody.
