Catching up...The Parrots

I'm finally getting back on track with the Snooty Parrots.  A good couple days was what it took.  I'm now back to where I should be...July's assignment.  Let's have a look at where I was last time we visited the Parrots.

Progress as of 6/22/14

This was actually May's assignment.  I had started this at the end of April and then the Hornbook stitching fest ensued.

Here is May's assignment all completed.  That stag gave me fits.  I swear I stitched that dude at least three times.  I finally got it right.  Who knows what that was all about!  I'm blaming the frogs.

June's assignment brought me to finally stitching a parrot!  I've looked forward to stitching one of the birds since starting this project but I've been patient.  I've tried to stay on task and not skip ahead.  I really love how it turned out.

Now I'm caught up and here's where I am as of last night.  I'm working on the verse.  I really like stitching letters.  I don't know what it is about letters.  They just seem to go quickly for some reason.  I'm hoping I can finish up the verse before my trip to Russellville. I know we'll have a new start on something there and don't want to feel behind again.

Well folks, that's all I've got today.  I'm still enjoying this project.  I think it's all the colors.  I love the pinks and reds in this piece. It's hard to believe we are about half way through it.  I'm hoping to get a good go on it this weekend at the guild's all day stitch-in.  A quilt history friend of mine is coming to lecture on antique sewing tools and toys.  I've heard her speak on this subject before and we are in for a treat!

Hope everyone is enjoying your summer stitching. Thanks for stopping by.  I always appreciate your visits.


Until next time,
