I sort of felt a bit guilty for not getting back to my projects, so today I made an effort to sew again.
I finally got back to Flowers in Season which I haven't touched for several months. It will be a good one for next spring because the flowers are Iris and Roses, so I have plenty of time to finish it.
I'm back to satin-stitching down the pieces and made good headway.
This one is Turkey in the Marigolds. I had this lovely marigold fabric I could use for the background. Mr. Turkey is tacked down so tomorrow the satin-stitching can begin.
I took a break but came back after a short rest to satin-stitch my turkey but also to add my signature fairy in the background. I like to add a fairy or a honey bee to my work.
Right now I have an aching neck from working on my sewing machine. It needs rest and some exercise to make it feel better. I won't be sewing again til tomorrow.
Today is such a lovely day in southern Maine. Temps in the 60sF with sunshine and a lovely breeze off the river making it such a pleasure to sit outside in the back garden and just enjoy the day.
Have a good one yourselves. Hugs, S
