Even more of the Green Magi from Heartstrings

Underskirt


Overview
I wish this had been me on Sunday afternoon

Sunday morning was spent at Taco Shack and getting people ready to go to camp.  Then the people had to be driven to camp.  Not much stitching was done.  I finished the lines on the underskirt using three strands of Splendor.  The cashmere stitch in the channels is being done with three strands of floss.  More soon.

  1. Like how the Green Wise Man is coming along (although I did like the light green sleeve stitch you took out). I especially like how the cat sleeps. Wish that had been me, too!

    1. Thanks, Jane. I liked the stitch on the light green sleeve, too. I think it was too much Neon Rays that was bothering me. I think I will look for something else tomorrow when I go to The Needle Works. Have a great day.

    2. I hope you found a better thread for that stitch. This is looking great! I am envious of your ability to run over to Needle Works whenever you need to. Wish I could!

    3. Wish you could, too. I think you would like hanging with the Swans. And the selection at The Needle Works! To die for.

    1. The biggest fattest laziest cat west of the Mississippi is named Olive. When are you and I going to catch up with all these speedy stitchers doing the Thanksgiving House?

    2. That's a very good question Steph. Now with gardening, some home remodelling and my daughter coming home in a week I don;t see how am I going ot start a new project. Will be lucky if I can finish what I started already. But the garden looks so great is well worth it, I enjoy it so much. If only the weeds woul grow more slowly

    3. We having a new fence built around our pool so I am using that as an excuse to ignore the backyard. What is my excuse for the deplorable condition of the front yard? Here's to a long weekend. Cheers

  3. Hi Steph,
    This Magi is coming out great. Your stitching is wonderful.
    I had the most wonderful time at Amy's. There is no one like her.

  5. I love your thread and stitch selection on the Magi! Also, your cat is soooo cute! I spent Sunday at Tony's class, but when I was not in class, I wish that was me too!
