Slow Sunday Stitching

“In emerald tufts, flowers purple, blue and white;
Like sapphire, pearl, and rich embroidery,
Buckled below fair knighthood’s bending knee;
Fairies use flower for their charactery.”
― William Shakespeare

 

“Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern; it will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that – one stitch at a time taken patiently and the pattern will come out all right like the embroidery.”
– Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.

 

I am still slowly; very, very slowly, stitching blocks from the Aunt Bea’s Parlor pattern.

I have finished block number 16.

Onto block number 17.

Progress is happening!

Slowly.

Slow Sunday Stitching

“Live in the sunshine. Swim in the sea. Drink in the wild air.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“I love how summer just wraps its arms around you like a warm blanket.” – Kellie Elmore

“If you’re not barefoot, then you’re overdressed.” – Unknown

Summer is wonderful, and too short, so I am trying to enjoy it as much as I can.  Yes, I do spend a lot of time barefoot, but mostly in the house.  My grass is so dry it crunches, and will be dormant until we get blessed with rain.  It has been a very hot and very dry summer.

I have finally finished the 15th block from the Aunt Bea’s Parlor pattern.

I did take a photo of block 16, which I will be working on for my next slow stitching project, but I’ve lost it. It is hiding somewhere in the depths of my computer.

So this one will be a surprise to you when I show it. 

Meantime, I have my son and his fam visiting, so I believe I will go enjoy some more summertime fun!

It is summer and there are lots of things to do, so I haven’t been embroidering.

I’m slower than ever.  Ha, ha!

But there is a little progress on Block 15 of Aunt Bea’s Parlor.
