In my garden:
Hi everyone. We are madly packing, and stacking boxes, but I take some time in the evenings to stitch.
My June Block is complete:
I beefed up the pretty pink and white gimp trim with rows of buttonhole lace, added some purple to the fly stitch seam, and two seams of cast-on stitch chains, one in green and one in pink.
July has a lovely piece of warm lace-- a rose!-- pinned into place. I like how the fabric below the lace repeats the curve.........
There are lots of little seams to embellish!
Work continues on my wrapping cloth.
This little dangle reminds me of a berry. It has 3 woven picot leaves and is topped with a Josephine knot cascade
It dangles on 3 buttonhole wrapped threads
and piece #6 is completed
Piece #7 is a little larger and has a 'wild' framed center lace piece with lots of open space for embellishing
I hope you've had some time this week to create, too.
I'd best get back to packing!

Your garden is looking lovely and your stitching is delightful. Good luck with the packing - have you found interesting treasures you had forgotten about? Cheers
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean that you have found a new house?
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty flowers.Nice way to remember the garden with colour, and a cheery show.
Hi Suz. So good to see your stitching progress. I don't know how you have the energy to stitch after packing all day. Safe moving dear...
ReplyDeletesound like you are on the move, best of luck, you will came across allsorts when you pack up that you forgot you had!!Your latest stitching is as beautiful and creative as always.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is beautiful, and it's going to be a beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteHope the move is going ok, the trouble is you pack something you don't think you want and then have to find it again, always in the box at the bottom of the pile.
Good luck with the move.

I love the Dangle!!!! So cute and adds movement to the piece.
ReplyDeleteFlowers are lovely!

So glad you are finding the time to stitch as you prepare for your move xx
ReplyDeleteSounds just like moving soon. Good to find time to stitch in between packing. Love the peonie - the colour is great. Funny, the tangle looks like a sugary chestnut.
ReplyDeleteMore beautiful shots of the garden. You will certainly miss it I suspect. I like the variety of stitched pieces that you are doing.
ReplyDeleteHope your packing is coming along nicely. It's be a real chore moving out of this house where we've been for 36 years! Are you going to tell us more about your new place?
ReplyDeleteHi Suz! Thanks for your post on my blog! Your flowers are so beautiful! Where is your new place... still on the lake? Thanks for posting such yummy pictures.
ReplyDeleteSweet Blessings, Chris
