Selby Gallery

More stitching on my WIP today. Slow but steady! My camera doesn't seem to capture the beautiful color of the fabric, although this pic is a little bit better than the last one was. In person it's sort of a creamy light caramel with a slightly silky hand, which will look lovely in the distressed red/brown serving tray.

I received my invite in the mail for this upcoming Nat Krate exhibit at Ringling College of Art and Design's Selby Gallery. I may just have to head on down to my old alma mater on the 26th and check it out.

Well begun is half done (or so I hope)

Finally made a start on my new WIP Birds of a Feather "Kindness Begets Kindness" chart. I know I'm not very far along yet, but I wanted to post a photo as proof that I had actually begun!

Our Florida summer sunshine extending into the early evening means there are more hours in which to stitch after work, but somehow these days I find myself at the laptop more than at the needle. I've also been trying to organize my charts a little better by finally placing them in a project binder, and that leads to sorting floss for upcoming projects, and before you know it it's late again and I am far too tired to stitch. But I do like this new chart and the 28 Ct. Examplar Linen I chose, so when I do find the time for stitching it is a pleasure.

I just added a link in my Favorites list to the Smithsonian American Sampler Collection. Lots of lovely examples and inspiration there!
