I don’t have any finished projects to share today.
But I am in the home stretch of my “Be Joyful” embroidery, thanks to the few minutes I’ve had, before games and at half time, during a busy soccer season. One last flower and a few last accents and I’ll be done.
I’ve enjoyed every minute I’ve worked on this embroidery. I love the admonition… be joyful ALWAYS. Pray and give thanks. It’s been like a mantra for me as I’ve stitched.
I’ve made more than my share of mistakes on this embroidery. Stitching on the essex linen was a bit of a challenge for me, since it likes to send the needle off my line just a fraction. I’m not an expert embroiderer, so this embroidery has taught me a lot. I’ve never done more French knots or lazy daisy stitches ever.
I’ve loved it so much that I’ll be starting a new one this week… one as a gift and one for my home.
If you are interested in the pattern, it comes from Amy of nanaCompany.
