John Foster update

Sunday was the perfect day to sit and stitch on John Foster.  It was raining all day and the NASCAR race was on the television.  So while DH watched the race, I parked myself on the other end of the couch and got busy!

Progress as of 4/8/13

 

Here's last month's progress.  Remember, I got a wee bit ahead when changing the colors on those dovecotes.

Progress as of 5/5/13

Here he is as of Sunday.  I got on a roll with the center part.  I really enjoyed stitching the green Quaker motif.  I decided to keep on going and finish June's installment while I was at it.

You may notice the birds are a bit different color this month.  I decided to change my red.  The first one I'd picked just wasn't flipping my skirt but the darker one does.  I prefer this choice over the first one.  So there you go!

Here's an overall progress shot.  As of June the group will be at the half way point!  I'm hopeful they will humor me and let me take a picture of all of them together so I can share them with you next month.  There's enough color in it now so you'll see the individual choices really shine!

Well folks, that's it for today.   I'm really enjoying this one.  I think it's all the colors and of course, the bee hive!  Thanks for having a look at John.  I appreciate you taking the time to stop by for a visit.
