SAL #1 Project Onions and Gourds

First off this update, I have to apologize that I missed the update 3 weeks ago. I was preparing for surgery that Tuesday and my mind just was not on stitching. Everything turned out beautifully and I am feeling fine and almost completely healed and back to work. During my recovery I got some stitchingContinue reading “SAL #1 Project Onions and Gourds”

Three weeks ago I was struggling with having to rip a section of my project out because if I didn’t, it would look “off”.

Unfortunately I was again tired the other night, (I know,Continue reading “SAL Update Project Peacock”
