4th of July

Prairie Schooler on the left, Shep Bush on the right.

I've been taking Bobbin Lace classes via Zoom, and had finished this edge.   Found a Bent Creek stitched piece in my stash (of things to finish) and added some beads.    Planning to finish into a pincushion.

Bent Creek pattern

I used Sampler Threads from The Gentle Art:  

Pink Azalea, Willow, Oatmeal (blended with DMC 712), Evergreen; 

Simply Shaker Sampler Threads from The Gentle Art Harvest Basket, Grape Leaf; 

and DMC 3021. Beads:  SJ Designs, Glass Seed Beads size 14, Color #1832.

These are my ribbon violets -- After trial-n-error, they seem to be okay.

In addition to the ribbon embroidery,  GF Cathy B, blogging at With Needle and Thread,

helped me out with a complimentary pattern from Prairie Schooler.

A friend made a pincushion for me, years back, and I've used it so often, it is getting beat up!

I started a new one, on aida cloth.  

 It is a nice pattern and will grow up to be my new pincushion.

The rabbit needlebook, in above photo, is on the same color aida cloth.   

Pattern from Prairie Schooler, In The Woods.
