Stitch Red for Wendy Jo

Wendy Jo let me know she received my Stitch Red exchange piece for our Friends Through Thread group.  I stitched French Square by Scissortail Designs, using 36ct opalescent fabric and Threadworkx 1089.  Here it is a bit fuzzy:

Wendy Jo has much better photos on her blog.  She also has included a snap of the backing I used, which I forgot to take a photo of.

Quite an exciting evening in the post-surgery convalescent homes.  Mother started experiencing pain in her leg, so a call was made to the home health provider.  After a phone call to her doctor, we think it is a pinched nerve.  My brother in law had to go to the ER with his knee.  It had become inflamed, so they did an ultrasound and determined there was no blood clot.  My niece, got very ill.  They determined it was the antibiotic which was causing her discomfort.  I believe I will strive to stay healthy.  Being sick and recovering from surgery is the pits.

Have a good evening.

Last/First

Here's my last stitching for 2011 and my first finishing for 2012.  Completed the beading yesterday morning even though I had the piece stitched on Christmas Eve.  Some reason I couldn't get motivated to finish it.  The design is Fleur de Lys Tree by ScissorTail Designs.  She is from Tulsa.  CC's Belle Sole Creme de Menthe was the called for threads, but I didn't have that color so I substituted a Threadworkx color. It's a gift for my pastor's wife.  Since it's still Christmas until the 5th, I'm still on time!

I'm presently working on an exchange gift, so no photos right now.  Have a great day.
