It’s been six weeks since our last update and I should have completed Joyce’s Rose but I didn’t even pick it up until two days ago. I just didn’t feel like stitching. We have had a rough few weeks with Bob and Joyce and sickness for my hubby. But we carry on, right? How was everyone’s holidays?
Here is where I left off last update:
And here is where I am now.
This bud is now done.
This is the last photo of when I worked on the buds on the left. And below is where I am now on them.
Here is a photo of the whole project now.
We are in the middle of a snowstorm right now, so I will keep working on this throughout the rest of the day today.
Thank you, Avis for all you do for our group! Please visit the other stitchers in our group by clicking the links below. They are working on some lovely projects!

Mary Margaret, are those the last two buds?! You are getting so close, and this is such a complex piece. Happy stitching today. I am doing the same, stitching, knitting and sewing because it is too cold to go outside except to fee the chickens hot cornbread.

You did well to get any stitching done with all the stress. It’s cold here too but no snow yet.

Snow storm here where I am too, yesterday and today. I sure know who stresses can slow us down and you have so much on your plate (as I read your more recent posts too) Hang in there. Your Rose project is my favorite and I know it must bring a smile of great accomplishment. Stay cozy warm
