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.

Overview

Not from me today

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

The push continues

Finished first red stripe

I decided not to continue with the flag.  I didn't want to be running my hands over the white stripes so I moved to the face.

First shade

Fuzzy picture with other color in on the left

What? More Betsy Ross? YES!

After dinner on Tuesday night, I finished off the dress ruffle.

 And started the flag.

You can see that I started the ruffle down in the lower right hand corner.  I hope I can finish after dinner  tonight.  I love Betsy Ross.
