This is the current state of block seven
After working all day and part of Saturday evening on completing the quilt top, I didn’t have any energy to do any stitching in the evening. I had a hot bath, then watch a bit of TV before bed.
Sunday evening was more productive embroidery-wise. I did the stems on the outside flowers and then got a start on all those French knots. You can see how far I got (and how far I still have to go). I’md definitely improving at them, but they are still hard on the hands.
It looks like my new kit has a lot more satin stitch and I think I will enjoy that much more. But… I’ve got to complete this kit first! One more weekend and I’ll be onto block eight.

It’s funny that you like satin stitch better while I prefer to make french knots. I think this one is looking so pretty. Love the two color flowers.
Blessings,

Nice progress. Your French knots look great (and I, too, love the two colors together).

It’s really coming to life now! Sunday is my usual stitching day but this week I tried doing a bit after dinner and it did not go so well. It’s not something I can do when I’m tired. I’ve got a new project on the way that I hope will help because I do like to sit at night with it a bit. I just can’t count it seems.
