Still at it. I've started the rice stitch beneath the band of satin stitch. Still some ways to go with the border vines and animal motifs.
Izra's shirt in the making. The previous shirt was fraught with mistakes that I could have easily avoided. The sewing is done more carefully this time. What did they say about practice?
Fabrics from
Fabric Shack. I like the sampler fabric by French General. It's a panel from the
La Petite Ecole collection by Moda.
I am thinking lately that I could really like country music. I like the story each song tells. I've been following Scotty McCreery on
American Idol and really from his first audition, I knew he'd be hard to beat. Love his voice and the regular nice boy that he is. Very nice song for his first single,
'I Love You This Big'.
Nice Stash.

Nice stash! Your MG looks great, too. I need to get back to mine but I get bored with the rice stitches.
ReplyDeleteCountry music is our fave! Check out Toby Keith--he is our all time favorite. There are a couple others that we really love, too, but Toby is our main man.
I agree with Siobhan - Toby!! Mary Glover is VERY nice - as is your blog header stitchery.
