New board and an adjusted system ready for 2019!
I call him RainBear!
Front of the fishbone stitch
Back of the fishbone stitch. Isn’t it lovely how the ‘backbone’ tucks the initial tail in? I love it!!
Maybe for embroidery or maybe not but, either way, these insults had me cracking up!
Thinking about making something like this for next year. We need somewhere we can move starts. It wouldn’t work for the super early ones but I think it’s a viable option for the later ones (zinnias, tomatoes, dahlias, etc)
It’s crazy how much lighting will change your pictures. Here’s the hoop in full sunlight.
Seconds later, the hoop shifted out of the direct sunlight and into the shade.
And here’s the hoop inside door, medium light. The blue fabric really changes colors! The actual reason for this picture was to show the difference in the white edging after I decided to try an new approach. The 2 petals on the left with the scissors pointing to them show my first attempt, strictly following the directions. The 2 on the right are after I branched out and found a way that works better for me.
