BFF RAL

 it was very random this week, I thought I would start with the Millennium angels face, mistake , well yes and no, I discovered I had made a mistake in the jaw line at the end of my last session working on it.  Whilst I did feel up to sewing over one and chatting, unpicking over one and chatting not so much.

So that project went away, hopefully not for too long given I will need to start with that find the fault unpick.

So what to do..got my eye on a much relegated project that has been languishing for some time. It is a combination of cross stitch and specialty stitches or embroidery stitches. Which I have been finding annoying on the 14  count Aida.

Petals in an odd stem stitch  is where I was up to with the first of three completed, the second started and something else coming along to make me abandon it.

So goal for tonight finish the flowers.

By the third one I was free styling and less concerned with it matching the pattern than just getting something done.

I have been working this on a scroll frame however given the length of time it has been stuck on there it needed to come off and have a wash. So an opportunity to see the whole thing and assess where I am.

Lots of stem stitch, lazy daisy and French knots still to go. My mother wanted to know was it finished and had I not missed one. 

Having delved into one on a scroll frame item an taken it off for its bath, there was a second one. Now in this instance it was a charity shop purchase of a much larger scroll frame that happened to still have the project attached.

I had contemplated finding the pattern and finishing it, but on consideration I am not that enamoured of the idea. I may unpick the three little sections started (so farewell to the space shuttle) and then chose something to put into the little spaces. Not sure if the middle design will stay but the writing would go.

 

At the end of the evening there was time to contemplate if the BFF nights would continue as RAL or return to being a SAL.

We have found a pattern we both think would be pleasant to do for the coming season so our intention is to be back to the SAL from next week.
