Nothing wrong with being a day late as usual here. I’m working on two projects, although one is on the sidelines while waiting for more crewel colors. My new dragonfly stumpwork is getting all the attention while waiting. The camera pretty much hates focusing on the fabric when there is too much dimension, so I’ve […]
I think that must have been true then as it is now. You certainly have to love embroidery to make it through a project of this size!!! This project is nearly 2′ x 2′. I have come back to my reproduction wool embroidery that has been pushed to the side for a very long time.

I haven’t had much time, or maybe I have, just let other things and projects come first. But this weekend is a long weekend and the bluebird project will be done! For once, I remember to take a few pics while I was working on something. Here I have begun the bird’s body. As you
