Once again, I did not complete as much as I’d hoped. But progress is progress, no matter how small. This weeks progress included filling in the veining on the purple hindwings. The pattern does it in a very light, almost white colour, but the more I looked at it unfilled, with just the black background, the more I decided it needed to be a dark colour. I had a wonderful, dark, dusty grey-purple, and I think it worked just perfect.
After that, I got started on the blue of the forewings. I didn’t get super far, but if you look at it sideways, you can kind of visualize how the wing will go. Maybe this weekend I can finish all the outlining on the wings and you won’t have to look at it sideways.

You’ve done more than me. I did not do a single stitch in the past week!

Raise your wing if it is just too darn hot to stitch! LOL

The stitching does show progress–the outlining will make it easier!

These are busy days for you with gardens to tend to. I should be out there pulling up weeds right now but I’m not. I keep telling myself that they will all die back in the winter so why go out and suffer. I’ll get’em next year.

I love the colors. I haven’t gotten anything done since we gone home. Too much catching up but I’ll get there eventually. You’ve got that huge garden to take care of. I’m surprised you get anything else done. Take care of yourself.
Blessings,
Betsy
