It has been a couple of weeks since I last posted a picture of my Frank Lloyd Wright counted cross stitch project. Here is a picture of where I left off last time.
Since then, there have been a few car trips with stitching as well as an evening with a friend --she was knitting mittens and I cross stitched. Today, I was at the September meeting of the London Modern Quilt Guild and there was time to sit and sew after the business meeting and program. Instead of bringing my sewing machine and a bag of fabric, I chose to just bring my (lightweight!) bag with my cross stitch project in it and add some more stitches.
There is one more rectangular box at the bottom of the picture that I need to complete along with the grey borders like the rest of the piece. There are not a lot of colourful stitches left to add--just a few here and there---mostly grey. After the cross stitching is done, I will be working on the silver outlining. I need to find my thread heaven again as the metallic thread tends to tangle easily.
Grand-puppy, Finn, has been teething and lost a molar this week. I wonder if the Tooth Fairy visits puppies???
It has gotten decidedly cooler in my neck of the woods this weekend but I still have lots of blooms in my garden...

One of my favourite things to do on Sundays is to check out what the other Slow Stitchers are up to over at Kathy's blog. I hope you will take a peek and perhaps leave some encouraging comments on some of the blogs.
