I started out my evening of stitching taking out the red that I had stitched in the middle bird. Great way to start? oh well! Where do I want to stitch next? well I wasn’t really in the mood for the compensating and finishing up the medallion stitches. Okay I will do all the beaks! I quickly found out that I don’t have the stitch that was selected for the fuchsia bird, and where could that page of the stitch guide be? I have that question out to Debbie and by the way let me remind you (and her too!) that it is all her fault that I am stitching this canvas. If she wasn’t doing such a beautiful job on it with Brenda Hart, I just wouldn’t have to stitch this!

I worked on some more gold as I kept thinking, when will I ever be done with this gold? The turquoise section in bird #3 started to look rather interesting, so I moved onto that section stitching the Brighton Stitch selecting Soie d’Alger 135 and Kreinik #329. I need to yet add a bead in the middle. I am thinking that I might need a little more stitch on the inside as it may be too open. I will decide that once the bead is added.

and until next time…keep on stitching
