Betsy Ross is stitching

Messy Betsy

 And the work on the flag has begun.  Goes very quickly.  This is Betsy Ross from Melissa Shirley's Wild Women series with a stitch guide from Amy Bunger at Amy's Golden Strand in Memphis, TN.

Betsy is back

First layer of apron

Second stitch

I feel like the apron needs an edging. 

Betsy, oh, Betsy

Fun Wednesdays at The Needle Works

Added little red square

Started wallpaper

Wallpaper is in

Compensated star

Added Lame border

Ran out of lame

I am probably going to need some expert advice on how to compensate the star stitch around the fingers  .  The wallpaper was so quick.  The flowers will go in on top later.  Today's goal is the hat and the apron.  Wish me luck.

Patchwork Pear from Heartstrings

I took a break from Betsy and pulled this cute pear out.  I love pears as much as I love my Betsy Ross.

Mary and Betsy

Saturday afternoon I went stitching at The Needle Works with my girl G.  We met another Stephanie.  She is back to stitching after a hiatus and jumping right in.  I took Mary from my Heartstrings Nativity.

Got her face done

Tidied her up

Started the stripe stitch, but don't like the color

After dinner, I got back to Betsy.

Cap

I used the size 8 Perle Cotton that the guide called for, but can't see the elements of the stitch.  I bought some size 16 Presencia Perle Cotton from Colleen.  It may be too small, but will give it a whirl on Sunday.

 I spent the evening stitching the wallpaper.  I love it.  The red flowers will go in on top at a later date.

Not from me today

I didn't post anything new today, but Suzanne did at suzannehicks.blogspot.com.  Two adorable canvases that are finished!
