Motif a day


My eyes were burning and terrible, my lips cracked and hurt, I had to keep removing fallen hairs from my work.  A really depressing day, but I continued on and completed the motif of the bottom right corner and can now see the finished length. From the excess fabric, I calculated incorrectly, or never bothered to trim the linen.  Either way, not nearly as large as I expected.  When pattern is repeated, I usually don't check the chart often, and I'm lucky I did for this one since the three sections are all slightly different.



Hope your week starts well and ends even better.

Thanks for visiting.

This is such a pretty sampler Marly! I'm really enjoying seeing this come to life on your blog.

So glad you were able to stitch this latest motif, Marly--it is such a pretty one. And better to have too much fabric than too little. I do hope things improve, healthwise, very soon--it must be so very difficult. ♥

To think you fastidiously stitched that beautiful motif despite the
physical obstacles that were in the way...would it help to wear a hair
net while stitching? This sampler may yet be one of your most beautiful..
Hope your eyes and lips allow you some relief soon.

Marly: This is such a beautiful Sampler.
I know what you mean about checking the pattern I have had to pull threads for not watching what I was doing.
Have a wonderful week.

When I stitch, my problems seem to get much easier to ignore. Hope this is the same for you! Despite your issues, this sampler is simple and beautifully stitched. It is a joy to watch it come to life. Stitch on!
