Really? Seriously! last Saturday was our class with Diane Hermann for her outlandishly popular Walking the Waters Edge. We couldn’t have had a more perfect venue, literally stitching by the dock of the bay!
Here’s the piece and really it is all floss, a little pearl cotton and some beads!
and no I didn’t get this much done in class…see my wave count was off in the last few repeats and even though no one would ever know that, it was driving me absolutely craaaaaaaaaaaaaazy! So I had to figure it out, which I did and stitching this piece is sorta kinda like eating potato chips…you just want another.
This was my latest and newest magnet from my sistah Meredith! I really should’ve had a starfish or something like that, but this will do just fine. I was also practicing my bullion knots which create the starfish.
Well it’s Saturday morning and you know what that means…breakfast at The Cottage! But no wait, we are trying a new place this morning, Sugar and Scribe that opened across the street from The Cottage. Gosh I feel like a traitor….shhh, please don’t tell them.
some play time yesterday with that silly girl.
and until next time…keep on stitching
My Water’s Edge kit was shipped yesterday, can’t wait for it to arrive. I see some serious counting in my future. Your work is beautiful as always.

Enjoy Lynis! really once you get the first wave across set, it is really a very relaxing stitch!
How do you store your many, many magnets?
That’s a good question!I have a metal bakers rack where many live, on the side of the pc tower (that I don’t use anymore) and many on the canvases. I do give many of them as gifts too!
How old are AlleyCat and Sylvester? The photos always showcase their pretty glossy black (and white) fur, but the black really shines. Walking the Waters Edge is such a beautiful canvas. I’m sure any slight mis-counts are easily overlooked by the eye. I hope you finish this one, what with your history of not finishing all your class pieces! Enjoy your additional eating spot. You will not abandon The Cottage forever, so don’t feel sneaky…!
Let’s see Sylvester is almost 18 and the brat better known as AlleyCat is 9. This piece will get finished since it is not an overwhelming commitment of time!
