Since getting reacquainted with the Yvette Stanton 'Silk Sampler' piece from her 'Frisian Whitework' book, I've become quite obsessed with working on it.
I had a lot of trouble doing the horizontal spacer lines of chain stitches until I ran some sewing thread through that line, spacing the running stitches in 3s - the width of each chain stitch. Much less bad language was uttered after that.
Looking at this photo, I realized I've left out a couple of elements in band 5 which I'll go back and add.
My daffodils are in various stages of blooming - depending on where they are located and how much sun they get.
In the back garden.
By the corner of the deck (SE exposure)
By the side door (full eastern exposure).
We still have about 6 weeks until the danger of frost is past. I look forward to all the colour in the garden.
This photo from last year popped up on my phone yesterday. It made me very happy.
I'll be glad when all this gloomy, rainy weather abates.
