Take a Stitch Tuesday 73 Portuguese stem stitch

I have to say that when I first looked at the instructions for this stitch on Sharon's blog http://pintangle.com/  I thought I would skip it.  It looked a bit daunting to me.  But I decided to look closer and actually read the instructions and decided that I can do that.  I am really glad that I attempted it.  It is a neat stitch and not that difficult.  Mind you I have not perfected it but I will continue to work at it.  I must say that I did find it easier to do sideways rather than up and down.

    It is so important to find a working direction that feels right. Your block is so beautiful and I am happy you did not give up on the Wrapped Coral stitches.

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

Slow Stitching Sunday

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
