This and That

    Good morning, 

       We are warming up this week-into the 70-'s-Wow kinda crazy but that's this area of Missouri some years.

   While enjoying lots of Olympics I finished stitching up the second dragonfly piece late yesterday afternoon. 

     After I hand  washed it last night to remove the pattern lines-this morning the lines on the very outside of the pattern did not wash out. The fabric also shrunk a bit even in just warm water so one edge has very little fabric left for the seam.  I am especially not happy that the outside lines are still there.  Will think about what to do-probably need to embroidery stitch on those lines. It needs a good press but will need to figure out those lines first-thinking this must have been a linen-cotton blend fabric. After washed I do like the results of the pattern though.

 My last painting when I finished up that pad for practice painting-I really liked, so I decided to place into a frame. It found a spot on the mantel 

  That's it from me today
