Every once in awhile the resident chef (not moi, btw) arrives in my doorway to show off his latest creation. This time it was lemon meringue pie made from scratch! See?....

| And, yes, I know I'm spoiled!! |
Over the weekend (whilst pie-making was happening in the kitchen) I worked on block one of the courtship series...
Just a pansy and a flower spray done in outline stitch, chain, french knots, lazy daisies & a few straight stitches.
Another little flower area - cross stitches, fly stitches, woven wheel. I think I will add some more beads to this one.
A cross stitched rose (done on waste canvas). You can see some floral beads on the vine, currently being held in place with pins. I only have so many of these beads and wanted to make sure I have enough before I started stitching, so hence the pins.
Today your quote is from Lin Yutang..."There is something in the nature of tea that leads us into a world of quiet contemplation"
Lemon meringue, my favourite, you are a lucky one!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing this piece come together, so lovely.
This is a series, I love it! I'm looking forward to the unfolding. Already such beautiful work and color.
ReplyDeleteI'll get a cup of tea and enjoy myself here a while.
Brilliant!
Tea is quite calming and refreshing and it is my drink of choice. Your CQ is beautiful and I adore seeing your progress seam-by-seam. Oh My...I am enchanted by these tea bag artists and their works.

ReplyDeleteI LUUUUVVVVVVVVVV lemon meringue pie. Favorite? no, but close. Your stitching is beautiful. I especially like the pansies. Thanks for the Chart. I have started a page on Pinterest for charts after someone posted code numbers for movie categories on Netflix.
