Last weekend one of those lightning bolts went through my brain (you know how that happens, don't you?). I remembered that I hadn't stitched recently on the petitpoint creche that was to be Needle Nicely's donation to this year's Festival of Trees. Actually, the stitching and finishing are to be the shop's gift--the canvases were donated by a customer who had decided that congress cloth was too small for her eyes. Anyway, in March Macy and I started stitching. She is in charge of the figures and I am doing the navy background. However, somehow the project was forgotten and the canvases tucked into a safe place. Until my lightning bolt struck.
A word about the photographs--I take them at the shop and then edit them at home. I discovered that my usual technique doesn't work with such small images so some of these are quite blurry. I'll replace them next week with clearer images.
I have 5 more figures to stitch as well as the 18mesh stable backdrop. This is my shop stitching until I complete them. Think fast stitching thoughts for me!!
EDIT: I've changed several of the photographs, there still isn't the clarity I usually get with my photographs. Sorry!
The stitched figures are very sweet. Time to get out your turbo needles, Mary Agnes!
