Baltic Scroll Start

I’m all settled in outside for a morning of stitching. I’m on the home stretch with this piece and I’m eager to finish it and start my next big project. My next project actually came to me in a dream. It shipped from Krista’s studio today and I’m hoping to be ready to start it later this week.

Lots of progress made today! I’m almost done with the central scrolls and then will just have to catch up the borders. Loving how this is looking. What a great design. Also, I've just made yet another order to Krista to get a pillow back to sew this onto, and an order to Target for a pillow form to put inside. Looking forward to learning how to finish it into a pillow, even if it will all have to be hand sewing.

@Cyovovich I'm looking forward to your progress on creating a pillow. I've never done that, but I'd like to (someday <sigh>). Your stitching on this lovely pattern is perfect! This is going to be a treasured finished piece!

@Cyovovich it’s exciting to see this coming To a finish.

Hah! They are just so pretty! I think I was using one for a needle and one to hold back some fabric.

@Cyovovich That‘s exactly what I am doing with two needleminders. So Useful.

The results of another morning stitching outside on my patio. I’m still really enjoying this pattern. I’ve got my next big project selected and I’m excited about it but I’ll be sad to see this one cone to an end.

Oh the fires are terrible. I’m in Albuquerque, which isn’t threatened at the moment. High around 95 today, but the mornings are pleasant and cool, especially in the shade.

Spring is windy here in New Mexico and that wind is supposed to pick up around 11 or so. I’m taking advantage of the peaceful morning out on our patio. I even lugged the Lowery stand outside for the first time. What fun to stitch out in the open air.
