I was spurred on to work on the two cells to finish the next ring of my wheel sample. You may remember that I am following Cathy Reavy’s stitching on her YouTube channel.
This is where I am now.
A close up of the latest two. The basket is to have some flowers that we will come back to sometime during the next ring.
2. Raised cup stitch This stitch looks good, but was very fiddly. I am not sure I would do it again.
The stitches on the outer ring are ones that can be used as borders and edges. Hopefully next update I will have a few completed cells to show you.

Thanks Ardys! This last ring is going to have some extra colours…maybe teal?

you’ve been so busy getting things sorted for the art display at library, I’m not surprised you didn’t find much time to stitch.

Claire, I appreciate your understanding. Now I am going to power ahead and get it finished!

I am glad to see that you now have time to do something different! Your sampler is looking good. I tried that cup stitch too and found it fiddly – plus I am not sure how useful such a raised stitch would be. Nice to try these things though and see what we like and what drives us nuts!

“What drives us nuts”! Love it, as it is so true. Some stitches become favourites really easily.

They are pretty, Cathie, but I am not sure I will do them again. Some of the other stitches Cathy has shown me have much more appeal.

I appreciate having Avis to organise me. If I didn’t have her prods I probably wouldn’t get to post regularly!

That looks really impressive. I love that big pink flower on the top right (next to the pink tear-drop looking one)!

That is an impressive flower. It was very fiddly to make, but I would do it again if needed.

It is like the centre of a daisy, isn’t it? I am glad I chose the bright yellow.

Maybe on the outer ring add some more yellow – to get that “popping effect” again…
