Keeps everything interesting!

I understand how you are enjoying seeing the lily pad ‘come to life.’ That’s a very fun aspect of cross stitch!<br /><br />As for finishes, I’m with you: my best ones are framed, flat-folds, or made into a pillow. I also like backing the smaller designs with Wonder Under to stiffen them up and then clamp them onto a clip board. Now THAT’s the real easy finish!!!<br /><br />Those lemons on your tree are so cheery!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389829595981028640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-74914020117682632472020-10-28T14:06:03.018-05:002020-10-28T14:06:03.018-05:00Wonderful progress on both of your large pieces, S...Wonderful progress on both of your large pieces, Sandy! I think the Freedom Sampler is just stunning--such a classic, too. And I do love that long-legged heron and the beautiful details in this design. Your little square turkey is darling! I have plans to do some turkey stitching in November--let's see how far I get :) <br /><br />Oh, a lemon tree--how nice! My inlaws have one in Naples, too. Hoping to get down there this winter since the house is vacant and they are in assisted living up here. But, I will definitely wait until hurricane season has passed. Stay safe now ♥Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-14331025146970874832020-10-28T10:18:37.084-05:002020-10-28T10:18:37.084-05:00Nice pieces.

We are watching Zeta as they are saying we will see rain/wind from this storm. Praying for the people in Zeta's immediate sight as that area has been hit from hard from storms this year. Your lemons look fabulous. Glad you were able to get away to Auburn for a bit!

I use a Qsnap like you do. I like how it holds the fabric tight. I used to stitch in hand until I tried the Qsnap. What about you?<br /><br />Tom Turkey is adorable, especially his pumpkin body. It’s funny, I would like to have a round finish but all my smalls lately are square.<br /><br />Send some of that moisture out west to us if you can! Hoping things settle down in your area. You could use a bit of “calm.”<br /><br />Your lemon tree is stunning.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06456059825889195640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-91126999968957207452020-10-28T03:15:42.089-05:002020-10-28T03:15:42.089-05:00Wonderful progress on your stitching progress.

I can see why they'd be enjoyable to stitch. And your let Freedom Ring is beautiful. Praying for those in the path of Zeta. I groaned when first hearing about another hurricane hitting that area. :(Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-84947419646304045642020-10-27T17:37:25.876-05:002020-10-27T17:37:25.876-05:00Oh I know I thought of you when I heard that anoth...Oh I know I thought of you when I heard that another storm was headed for the Gulf coast, and poor Louisiana. So very sorry for them. What a strange year indeed. Praying it will fizzle. Your stitching is all so lovely. I don't know how you manage to keep track of all those different ones going on at one time. I know I couldn't do it. I can't wait to see that sampler when it is done...that will be stunning. Also the heron! Glad you had a quiet weekend away. Sometimes it is nice to just get away and do absolutely nothing. Our bodies and minds need the rest. Take care and once again, stay safe and dry!!Pamela M.

Yours look fabulous! I love your stitching projects and look forward to watching your progress! So sad that yet another storm is headed for Louisiana/New Orleans.
