Thirtieth of July arrived and I had a realization. If I didn't start making major progress on this project, I wouldn't be ready for the finishing class in the early fall.
So for the first week of July, I put in at least one thread a day. I started making more progress when I put it on scroll rods.
This is Bonfires and Illuminations by Beth Twist. My guild asked for a custom piece that would reflect on the upcoming 250th of the United States.
It's pretty spectacular at 7 1/2 feet long and it wraps around a wooden spool.
Last night I decided to start the floral band. Beth suggested doing the words first which I have been doing.
Literally all I've been stitching in July.
