One of my monthly goals is finished and the other two are coming along fabulously.
I placed a couple layers of wool hanging off the front edge as a place to hold my sewing needle when not in use. It's edged with fray check so hopefully it'll stand up to the wear and tear. If not I can always cut it off as if it was never there.
Time will tell.
I also did my version of a "chicken hen scratch" stitching to attach that black wool to the cotton print background. I felt that with this piece an organic look would complement it best. Stitched wonky Xs , /, \ and even l's both long and short. Actually, the stitching was done at UNO's while sipping a martini and having lunch waiting for the Christmastide service to begin in between a couple of hockey games.
It was a very busy Sunday.
Shhhhh, I'll never admit I went to church after having a martini. My first time, BTW but I felt so guilty in a very pleasant state!
